Is this the year Oklahoma gets dethroned? Or will the Sooners secure a four-peat of the NCAA National Championship?

The NCAA announced the bracket of 64 teams, with the top 16 teams receiving a seed and hosting the regionals. The top eight seeds will host the regionals and super regionals, assuming they win the first weekend. The tournament is double elimination, with the series being best two out of three. The final eight teams will play in the Women's College World Series (WCWS) in Oklahoma City from May 30 to June 6 or 7, depending on whether a game three is needed. Here is a look at the top eight seeds.

1. Texas

Texas won the Big 12 regular season for the last time before moving to the SEC next season. The Longhorns finished one game ahead of Oklahoma, but Oklahoma got revenge during the Big 12 tournament final and crushed Texas 5-1. Texas still earned the No. 1 seed and is led by Big 12 Player of the Year, Reese Atwood. She leads a dangerous Texas offense – setting a single-season school record for home runs (21) and runs batted in (RBIs) (83) while hitting .433.

2. Oklahoma

Never count out a dynasty! Oklahoma started dominant but has not been perfect. That said, they have won the last three national titles, and there is no reason why they can't win a fourth this year. Tiare Jennings leads Oklahoma with 19 home runs, 13 doubles, and 57 RBIs and hits .368.

3. Tennessee

Tennessee lost in the quarter-finals of the SEC tournament but had been dominant all regular season, never dropping a series in conference play. The No. 3 seed is the highest tournament ranking the Volunteers have ever received. Tennesse is led by two dominant pitchers, Karlyn Pickens, the SEC pitcher of the year, and Payton Gottshall, a first-team All-SEC pick. Plus, the Volunteers have Kiki Milloy. Milloy is the all-time Tennessee home runs leader with 68.

4. Florida

Florida is living large after winning the SEC tournament. Going into the tournament, Florida's chances of hosting a regional were mixed, but after tearing through Georgia, Texas A&M, and Missouri, all of which are also seeded in the NCAA tournament, it became clear that the Gators deserved a top spot. Jocelyn Erickson is a high-impact transfer with a slugging percentage of .689, 12 home runs, and 75 RBIs.

5. Oklahoma State

The Cowgirls know a thing or two about bedlam, winning the series against Oklahoma at the end of April, but they lost in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. While it feels like Oklahoma State can play little sister to their in-state rivals, the program is hunting for a fifth straight trip to the WCWS. Lexi Kilfoyl won Big 12 pitcher of the year with a 1.41 earned run average (ERA).

6. UCLA

UCLA is the last team to win a national championship not called Oklahoma in 2019 (the 2020 season was canceled for the COVID-19 pandemic). After a nearly disastrous start to the season during the program's first tournament with a 0-16 mercy rule loss to Texas and a 1-9 loss to Oklahoma State, UCLA turned it around to win the final Pac-12 regular season and tournament. Maya Brady (yes, that Brady) is the Pac-12 Player of the Year with a .409 batting average, 15 home runs, and 61 RBIs.

7. Missouri

The Tigers fell in the SEC tournament finals after an impressive season earned them the No. 7 seed. It is the 17th consecutive time Missouri has been part of the NCAA tournament. The program finished fifth in the SEC regular season. Jenns Laird, Alex Honnold, and Abby Hay led the Tigers and were members of the All-SEC Second Team.

8. Stanford

Stanford is looking to return to the WCWS for the second year. The Cardinal finished second in the Pac-12 regular season but exited the tournament during the semifinals. Stanford is a team on the rise, back in contention after missing the WCWS from 2005-2022. NiJaree Canady was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year with an ERA of 0.5.
