As we enter the final week of regular season play, it's safe to say that the Missouri softball team has certainly overachieved.

The Tigers were projected to finish 11th in the 2024 SEC Softball Preseason Coaches’ Poll, but since Week 1, they've proven that those rankings would never become a reality.

After winning 2-of-3 games against then-No.18 Mississippi State this past weekend, the Tigers bumped their record up to 37-14.

As it prepares for the final series of the regular season on the road against South Carolina, here's where things stand in the national polls for Mizzou:
