Colton Sulley: Oklahoma over Arkansas
Arkansas is better than its No. 7 seeding. The Razorbacks rank first nationally in RPI and took OU to the brink in two of the three games in Norman this season. However, the Sooners' offense is too deep. Give me them to cruise to a tournament title and the NCAA Tournament's No. 1 overall seed.
Joe Mussatto: Oklahoma over Alabama
Jocelyn Briski was the best pitcher in the SEC in conference play, and we all know how dangerous OU's lineup is. Give me the Sooners in what should be an epic crimson clash.
Jenni Carlson: Oklahoma over Arkansas
An OU-Bama matchup would be my preference, since we didn't get to see it during the regular season. But the Razorbacks are fighting for NCAA seeding, having finished seventh in the SEC. Look for the Sooners in a close final.
