With just one weekend left in the 2025 Big 12 softball regular season, the No. 1 seed and conference championship have already been locked up—by Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders clinched their first-ever Big 12 regular season title after taking the series against Arizona State on Saturday, cementing their dominance with an 18-3 conference record. Now, they enter the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City as the clear favorite while potentially resting key players in their final series against BYU.
But behind Texas Tech? Pure chaos. The middle of the standings remains a battleground, with several teams hovering near .500 and fighting for postseason positioning. Here’s how the Big 12 stacks up heading into May:
