Now that the regular season over, the first steps to Oklahoma City for the College Softball World Series start with conference tournaments across the country.
For the SEC Tournament, newcomers Oklahoma and Texas secured spots in the quarterfinals as the No. 1 and No. 3 seeds. Texas A&M and Tennessee hold the other two spots at No. 2 and No. 4; all four teams secured a double-bye.
Last year, Florida won the conference tournament when it was held in Auburn, Ala. (the host city for the tournament rotates). The Gators are the No. 6 seed this season and impressed with a 2-1 series upset against Oklahoma last weekend.

Another team that could surprise in the tournament is Arkansas. The Razorbacks stunned Florida, Texas A&M and LSU, winning each series 2-1 thanks to the big bats of first baseman Bri Ellis and third baseman Ella McDowell.
The action starts Tuesday and features all 16 SEC teams.
Here is what to know for the SEC Tournament:
