With the Oklahoma Sooners knocked out of the super regionals, the Women’s College World Series field feels wide open. Is it open enough for the Nebraska softball team to sneak in and get its first national title? Vegas oddsmakers certainly think the Huskers have a shot. In fact, NU is currently sitting with the fourth-best odds of any team in the WCWS field, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Being right in the middle of the eight-team field means that plenty of people will think the Cornhuskers got quite a bit of respect. However, considering how much they dominated the postseason so far, ranking No. 4 might still be an indication that Jordy Frahm and company aren’t quite getting enough love.
Nebraska dominated the regionals with its pitching, allowing just 2 runs across 3 games. Then it knocked off Oklahoma State in the super regionals by a combined score of 17-2. They even run-ruled the Cowgirls in the decisive super regional elimination game. So with a powerhouse like the Sooners now out of the running, how are the Huskers still ranked right in the middle, as opposed to closer to the top?…
