The No. 1 spot in the final USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll looked a lot like the 2022 preseason poll did. For that matter, all the polls in between had the same name atop it. Oklahoma was the unanimous No. 1 in the final DI Top 25 Poll of the season. The Sooners won their second National Championship in a row, holding that top ranking in every poll this season as they solidified themselves as the most dominant softball team in collegiate history.
