Last Four In: Nebraska, Texas State, Georgia Tech, Minnesota

Softball season is here! Once again, the SEC has a plethora of teams projected in the field-of-64 for our first bracketology of the season. This can drastically change over the next couple of weeks as conference play begins, and teams begin to heat up and cool off. One thing that surprises me is the lack of ACC teams in the bracket, even though Virginia and Louisville are just sitting outside. However, we have a long way to go and I anticipate at least 7-8 ACC teams in the bracket when all is said and done, if not more!
