4/2 Softball Bracketology Breakdown

 
Last Four In: Northwestern, UCF, USF, San Diego State 
 
First Four Out: Iowa, Louisiana, BYU, Wisconsin  
 
Duke is back in the hosting conversation as well as Clemson after solid starts to ACC play. A lot can still change with one month remaining in regular season. This season has really flown by. Northwestern is back in the picture after a very slow start to the season as they are atop the Big Ten with UCLA and Oregon. Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Georgia, Texas Tech, and possibly even Ohio State are on the fence of hosting a Regional. Some of these teams have been a top 16 seed in recent weeks and I look forward to these teams switching in and out with those in the top 16 this week.
