Softball America announced its 2024 preseason college softball rankings Thursday.

Unsurprisingly, OU is ranked No. 1 after winning its third straight national championship last season and ending the year on a 53-game win streak. Oklahoma State earned the No. 14 spot.

Four Big 12 teams are in the top 25.

Along with the Sooners and Cowgirls, Texas (No. 7) and Baylor (No. 11) were included.

OU is set to begin the season on Feb. 8 in Mexico with a double-header against Utah Valley and No. 9 Duke at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge.

OSU will begin the year on the same day with a road game against California State University at Northridge.
