Softball America has released the second week of Mid-Major Power Rankings, which sees a bit of a shakeup. Grand Canyon remains undefeated and holds the top spot, but several teams fall, while many enter the top 10 after shocking losses. This poll differs from Softball America's regular Top 25 ranking, as it focuses more on which teams could give a regional host the most trouble come May.
Why it matters
The Mid-Major Power Rankings provide insight into which smaller programs are emerging as potential threats to the top softball teams in the country. These rankings could influence postseason seeding and matchups, as well as highlight the growing parity in college softball.
The details
Texas State was able to take down the hot Southeastern Louisiana Lions in two of three games. Omaha had been on a roll but saw their worst weekend of the season at the Woo Pig Classic hosted by Arkansas, dropping games to the Razorbacks and Kansas. Florida International has collected several major wins this season, including victories over Georgia Tech, Marshall, and Louisville. Miami Ohio extended their win streak to nine games with a weekend sweep, earning an 8-7 comeback victory over Wichita State and a 7-2 win against Missouri.
