SEC schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2025
The SEC has become the preeminent conference in collegiate athletics. It has competed for or won a number of national titles this academic year. Much of the first academic season in the conference was a challenge for Oklahoma. However, the Sooners came away with the regular season softball title and earned a share of the tournament title with Texas A&M. Football got off to a rough start with a 6-7 mark and a 2-6 record in SEC play. Men's Basketball was undefeated heading into conference play but struggled to find their footing. However, Women's basketball, baseball, softball, and gymnastics all fared well and made the postseason in their respective sports.
