The pollsters remain split, based on the weekly release of the two primary national polls Tuesday. The Longhorns (20-1) still top the National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll but remain No. 2 in the ESPN/USA Softball poll behind unbeaten Oklahoma, which has won the past four national titles.

Texas softball stayed hot in the second game of the Ohio State Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, with a 15-1 in over Kent State on Sunday. The No. 1 Longhorns (24-1) will wrap up the tournament with a doubleheader against Dayton and host Ohio State Monday.

Bracketology by USA TODAY's Eddie Timanus projects the Longhorns will miss the postseason. Texas is forecast as one of the last teams out of the field. Boise State, Colorado State and North Carolina join UT as the "first four out." Oklahoma, Ohio State, Xavier and Indiana are the "last four in."
