After experimenting for several weeks with various top-ranked teams, the Oklahoma Sooners have reclaimed their throne.

Just one week ago, three teams were ranked No. 1 across three of the four major polls: Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Texas, but they all lost more than one game over the past seven days.

The one team that didn't lose was Oklahoma.

The Sooners swept Texas in Norman and mightt be peaking at just the right time.

Coming in at No. 2 is Arkansas. The Razorbacks won their fifth straight SEC series by knocking off Texas A&M in College Station. Texas Tech jumped into the top 10 after winning its series against Arizona State.

Other notable moves include Oregon jumping three spots to No. 4 and South Carolina falling four spots to No. 14.

There's only one Oklahoma....and Oklahoma is No. 1. The Sooners return to the top spot of the Softball America Top 25 rankings after sweeping Texas.
