2025 ACC Softball Championship bracket set: Full dates, times
While Clemson‘s regular season ended on April 27 with a three-game sweep of Georgia Tech, many other teams didn’t wrap up regular-season play until this past weekend. That led to the Tigers’ ranking in this week’s top 25 softball polls being reshuffled a bit.
Clemson stayed at No. 15 in the new NFCA Coaches Poll. Over at Softball America, the Tigers rose one spot to No. 10. D1 Softball dropped Clemson two spots to No. 14.
Texas A&M overtook Oklahoma for the top spot in the Coaches Poll and in D1 Softball’s rankings, while Softball America moved the Arkansas Razorbacks to No. 1 in its top 25.
Here’s a full look at the new NFCA Coaches Poll.
