Two SEC programs (Oklahoma and Texas) have already punched their tickets to the Women's College World Series. At least two more will get to do so on Sunday with Florida and Georgia facing off and Ole Miss and Arkansas playing each other. Tennessee and South Carolina can also secure spots in OKC.

While there are no Alabama athletic events over the next two days of the holiday weekend, Monday is a big day for the baseball program with the NCAA selection show. Alabama is definitely in the field, but is hoping to hear its name called as a regional host. The selection show is on Monday at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN2.
