This is the link to the updated USA today/NFCA poll. However, UCLA's record isn't correct. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1

UCLA -- with its ace pitcher nowhere to be seen -- loses at home to Stanford and stays top 4? Where is my sober poll?

Texas A&M lost to Miss State That's a bunch of losses for a bunch of Top 10 teams. But at least they're all still Top 10 teams. Frankly, though, I appreciate the polls. Get an average from 4-5 national polls and you'll have a pretty accurate ranking of the Top 10 teams. Gets a little more dicey when you try to pick Nos. 11-25.

It is the better poll again, but dropping Oregon State, when they beat the No. 6 team and then lost to them in 15 innings is stupid

I wonder the last time -- before Week 7 -- that the sober poll had no SEC teams in its top 4
