You also have to remember that the P5 conferences swallowed up some of the more traditional mid-major powerhouses. Louisville is in the ACC, TCU is in the Big 12, Utah went to the PAC12, Boise/Cincinnati/Houston/UCF are all teams that have made multiple top 25 appearances in the last decade (or even BCS bowls) but are having down years. BYU was a top 20 team until they lost their QB. Basically there's just no G5 school that's showing they deserve a top 25 ranking right now. Maybe at the end of the year you find Boise State or Colorado State there, but there's not really a single team to latch onto that's proven they're worthy.

Too much money involved for those "experts" to throw an undefeated G5 in the top 25. In the event that everyone kept losing and that undefeated kept winning they would be obligated to move them up or

If they keep winning it may change..... But I thought it was telling that undefeated Marshall didn't even get in the top 25. The committee has no interest in a CUSA team. Might as well offic

I'm sorry, but no. The top 5 teams from the SEC will beat the top 5 from the Big12. Miss St v KState--Miss St AU v TCU-- AU Alabama v OU--Bama Ole Miss v Baylor--Ole Miss UGA (w/ Gurley) v whoe

If Marshal goes into bowl season at 13-0 not ranked that would be an absolute slap in the face. Regardless of who plays who, it is beyond difficult to run the table and win your conference championship. Marshal will prove or disprove their worthiness in bowl season either way. I hope they get put in the HOD to play a Penn State or Rutgers.

Marshall hasn't played a marquee game and won. Very weak schedule, without ever really being tested we don't know how they stack up. We will see come bowl season but I think they get beat.

They have beat

Miami OH (2-8)

Rhode Island (0-9)

Ohio (4-5)

Akron (4-5)

ODU (3-6)

MT (5-4)

FIU (3-6)

FAU (3-6)

Not exactly a sterling resume.

Could Bama beat Akron or Ohio on different weekends? Probably. It's only when you put them back to back like that that you find out really how much iron sharpens iron.

I guess that's why the MAC is just SEC-lite...who could possibly expect to beat those two juggernauts in back-to-back weekends?

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
