All 13 are top 33 in RPI. That includes last place Georgia that's 4-18 in conference play and eliminated from the SEC tournament next week.

All the money has to be spent on men's sports. It's the law.

It is insane how deep the conference is now in softball. This is the best women's softball team in the history of Arkansas and we are only 7-15 in conference.

OOC we are 24-4, including a split recently against Notre Dame.

Bama has probably the best pitcher in the nation in Osorio and we are 39-13 11-9 and in 5th place in the league, #14 in the nation. It's insane.

That puts y'all at 28-4 OOC right? That is practically obscene.

Half of the conference could get hot and win it all, the rest could put the fear of the SEC in anyone they face. Unless there is a massive implosion in the post season I foresee a lot of SEC teams getting knocked out... by SEC teams.

And you can be sure the NCAA will line them up against each other in the tournament. Mustn't humiliate the other conferences.

Kelly Barnhill is easily the best pitcher in the country right now:

0.30 ERA, 21-1 record in 27 appearances

There is a decent argument Florida's 2nd pitcher is also the 2nd best in the country. Delanie Gourley is 2nd in the SEC with an ERA of 0.83 with 27 appearances and a 17-3 record.

With more appearances. Barnhill and Gourley split time more evenly.

Barnhill leads the nation in strikeouts per seven innings at a rate of 13.2.

She's overused. Murphy has always down that instead of a more evenly split rotation. Probably why Alabama has fallen behind in the conference.

Osorio is definitely one of the best, it's just Barnhill's season is that special that it's a tough argument to make that anyone is a better pitcher this year.

Barnhill is no doubt dominant. Easy to be when 99% of her pitches are crow hop illegal pitches.

Osario also had 11 walks and had 185 pitches before being pulled. That type of overuse is going to kill Bama come tourney time
