Hokies finish at #20 in the final Softball America poll
Not sure that I totally follow the logic, but if you’re not first….. It will be interesting to see what the other polls say. Clemson #9 FSU #10 Liberty #15 Stanford #19 VT #20 Duke #24

Seems very close to last year's ranking.

IMHO, the key rankings are the Coaches' Poll and the ESPN Poll
At the end of last season, the Hokies were #17 in the Coaches Poll and #18 in the ESPN Poll. Softball America always releases their poll a day earlier to grab the headlines. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Finishing ahead of LSU and Ohio State in anything makes me giggle.

Didn’t we beat Liberty twice? Should be in front of them!

They didn't even score a single run vs us.

Agreed - how did they finish higher?

Didn't we sweep Stanford 3-0? These rankings are garbage! We are better
than the 20th rank softball team in NCAA softball! Just because you finish in the supers doesn't make you a top 16 team. This was very lazy ranking by Softball America!

Looks like they put Supers qualifiers in top 16
Actually they ranked the top 16 based on how they did in NCAA, definitely the top 8 Regardless of regular season Texas A&M is 17? lol. They dropped from 1 to 17? I mean it’s a lazy way to do a poll but whatever…doesn’t matter ** Edited by hokiepro at 6/9/2025, 10:39:07 AM

Getting "hot" at the designated time always means more than
the regular season.
