Breaking down every way Oklahoma softball has proven to be a dynasty
It’s time to put Sooner softball in the pantheon of college dynasties
When we talk about dynasties in college sports, we talk about a few programs: Alabama football, UConn women’s basketball, Duke men’s basketball
Well, it’s time we add another dynasty to the group: the University of Oklahoma’s softball program. Since 2010, the argument can be made that the Sooners’ softball program is THE most successful college sports program in America.
Let’s start with the stats. Since 2010, the Sooners have won seven national championships, including each of the last four titles. For comparison, Alabama football has won four titles total since 2010, as have UConn men’s basketball in that same time period. In fact, the only major college sports program that comes close to matching Oklahoma women’s softball is UConn women’s basketball, winning five titles since 2010, including three straight. But even then, it pales in the sheer dominance of Sooner softball. People have accused the Sooners’ softball program of being too dominant, and to that the Sooners just decide to keep on winning. Head coach Patty Gasso has been in the dugout for the last 31 years for the Sooners, but recently the Sooners have been on a run that is unrivaled in college sports. Since 2020, the Sooners have won 235 games, 41 in the postseason. In those four years, they’ve lost the same amount of postseason games as they have won the Women’s College World Series. 21 wins in the WCWS in that period, pure dominance from that perspective.
