The Georgia Bulldogs softball team is the second-ranked team in the NCAA’s softball power rankings. Only Oklahoma, who is the defending national champions, is ranked ahead of Georgia. The Bulldogs are 9-0 and have three straight wins over ranked opponents.
Georgia is coming off an impressive week where the Bulldogs defeated No. 5 Florida State, No. 20 UCLA and No. 8 Oklahoma State. UGA avenged their Super Regional round defeat in the NCAA Tournament to Florida State with a historic 20-10 demolition of the Seminoles. Georgia scored the most runs in program history against the Seminoles, but did allow a season-high 10 runs.
Michella Chester explained why she had Georgia as the second-ranked team in her power rankings.
The Dawgs and Texas feel interchangeable in the Nos. 2 and 3 spots, but I put Georgia up at two after a statement 20-10 win over Florida State, among four convincing wins at the Clearwater Invitational that included UCLA, Oklahoma State and Wisconsin. Georgia is looking good.
Georgia softball’s next game is on Feb. 23 against Virginia Tech as the Bulldogs host the Georgia Classic. The Dawgs play Virginia Tech again on Feb. 24. Additionally, Georgia plays Radford on Feb. 24.
