Arizona State takes 2 or 3 from UCLA. Michigan, on the other other hand, sweeps the "Flinching Illini". Show of hands...who thinks Michigan is the best team in the country? That is what I thought...

Oh well...my top 5:

1) Arizona State
2) Georgia
3) Arizona
4) Tennessee
5) Alabama

The best team in the country right now is Arizona State.

Georgie coach Lu Harris-Champer, IMHO, is the best collegiate softball coach in the country. I love the way she runs her team, and takes care of her players. She is the only coach that I've seen that actually thinks in terms of keeping her pitchers healthy for the tournament.

maybe because UM has beaten ASU this year? i don't agree there is ever a best team as any team is capable of loosing at anytime in softball.

Remind me again what happened when Michigan played Arizona State? (1-0 Michigan)

How about when Michigan Played Arizona? (8-0 Michigan)

Its hard to over look head to head match ups.

I total agree that coach Lu Harris-Champer is first rate. She uses her pitchers like a pitching staff and that's very smart.

We went to a game at GA where she came over and talked to me and my daughter and invited my daughter to her summer camp. My daughter attended the camp where Lu Harris-Champer looked us up and I was surpised she remembered my daughter and me. :cool:

Michigan is really good. Why is there a problem with that. Polls don't favor No 1s who just lost. Is this a west coast bias?

Is this a west coast bias?

Why would anyone think the west coast teams are better? They've only won 25 out of the last 29 softball championships. It would be so irrational to assume that west coast teams are better...

What about Schlopy hitting that Tech catcher and getting ejected?

I don't know anything about this...please, tell me more.

Kind of exciting to have Michigan number one. Although I wish the Big 10 would get someone other than Michigan and maybe Northwestern a few years ago on the radar screen once in a while.
