Alabama is ranked No. 5 with returners Alexis Osorio, Sydney Littlejohn, Haylie McCleney, and Demi Turner. The Tide are a team based on speed and gap to gap power. Osorio's rise ball will be a challenge for opposing teams to lay off of.

Oklahoma is young and full of talent. The question will be consistency in the circle. Paige Parker seems to be hitting her stride tabbed Big 12 Pitcher of the Week. The Sooners have four players batting above .400 who are all lower classman.

Nebraska can upset a ranked team on any given day. MJ Knighten leads the Huskers with 12 homeruns and nearly 30 RBIs.

Cal State Fullerton are a team of scrappers. The Titans have upset big name teams in ASU, Northwestern, North Carolina, and Mississippi State.

Arkansas with a 11-12 record is still forming. The Razorbacks biggest challenge will be what they can get from their bullpen.

UNLV come off a sweep at the Rebel Classic and hope to continue their winning streak.

Grand Canyon is off to a good start with a 20-8 record and a team batting average of .368.

DePaul has struggled this preseason with only six wins. This could be a turning point in their season before conference competition.

New Mexico is a gritty team that can swing the bat. Look for the Lobos to be aggressive and take their hacks.
