4/5 Softball Bracketology Breakdown

 
Last Four In: Kansas, Charlotte, Southern Illinois, Auburn
 
First Four Out: South Carolina, Mississippi State, NC State, Long Beach State
 
Halfway through conference play, Arkansas has an astounding 12-0 record in the SEC for the first time in program history. However, Florida looks like the team to win the SEC and clinch the auto-bid, followed by Alabama. Mississippi State and South Carolina both are 0-9 in the SEC and have dropped out of our updated bracketology. I do not believe they can change course and win a majority of their remaining conference games. Kentucky has dropped from their spot as a National Seed and have been replaced by a surging Clemson. Oregon State from the Pac-12 is out of the bracket. Charlotte and Kansas are the new at-large bid editions to the bracket. Missouri and Northwestern have the potential to become a National Seed soon, but they need help.
