College softball rankings: 2025 NCAA Week 1 Top 25 poll - ESPN

After an eventful opening weekend of college softball, our top-25 rankings have had a shake-up.

No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Florida and No. 3 Oklahoma escaped unscathed and still sit atop the list, but what about the other teams? Five teams that were ranked in the preseason top 25 — Oklahoma State, Duke, Nebraska, Northwestern and Baylor — dropped two games apiece. Eleven teams in this week's ranking are undefeated, including surging Florida Atlantic.

Here's how the top 25 looks after the first week of the season, plus our play of the week and what to watch for in Week 2.

Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady might not have been in the pitching circle against Nebraska, but she made her mark in the batter's box. She hit a three-run home run off Cornhuskers ace Jordy Bahl in the bottom of the sixth inning to help lift the Red Raiders to victory.

Audrey Vandagriff, OF, Alabama. The future looks bright for this freshman. Vandagriff had six RBIs, including a double against Washington in her first game. She also showcased her speed with nine stolen bases last week, which is tied for the most in softball.
