The first NCEA Coaches Poll of the spring season was released Wednesday and,
as predicated, there was quite a shake up at the top. The
Georgia Bulldogs have jumped
Auburn University to reclaim the No.1 Ranking, and
Oklahoma State has broken the SEC’s stronghold on the top three spots. The Cowgirls convincing win over
Texas A&M on Saturday helped them move to No.3.
Big Twelve teams
Kansas State and
Baylor each moved up one position to No.5 and No.6 respectively, while
South Carolina dropped from No.1 to No.4 and Texas A&M dropped into a tie with Baylor at No.6.
The next NCEA Coaches Poll is scheduled to be released in two weeks, on February 20th, at 12pm ET.
