As the NCSA Regular Season gets closer to the end, the Badgers from Wisconsin hold tight to the top spot with Virginia Tech and Air Force nipping at their heels!  Wisconsin claims the top spot earning 341 out of the possible 360 points, but both VT and Air Force received more 1st place votes.

Michigan and Michigan State swap spots, but both remain in the Top 5.  NAU joins the Top 20 after a huge series sweep in the Rawlings Week 31 NCSA DI Top 20.  There are only two weekends of softball left to play and the next poll will come out after the regular season has come to a close so surely that will be the most exciting poll to date.

Next Poll Released: 4/22/24

Once again the Badgers from Wisconsin stay atop the Rawlings Week 29 NCSA DI Top 20 Rankings.  With Air Force and Virginia Tech not far behind.  Air Force once again, claims more 1st place votes than Wisconsin, but can’t overtake the top spot.
