Texas goes back-to-back.

Softball has polls.
It has never had a KenPom.

So we built one. Every D1 team’s offense and defense pulled out of 7,542 games by a single regression, so a run scored against Texas is not worth the same as a run scored against a twelve-win team.

It is predictive, not a résumé — which is why the national champion comes out fifth and the poll’s ninth-best team comes out first.
