Week 7 Top 25 and how to watch
playHighlight: Auburn tames the Lady Rattlers with balanced attack (0:35)

McKaela Walker, Haven Roebuck and Ava Ratliff lead the Tigers with two hits apiece as they roll to an 8-3 victory over Florida A&M. (0:35)

There's a new No. 1! Texas now has the top spot. The Longhorns have won their past 26 games -- their only loss of the season came in early February against Nebraska. The other biggest mover in the top 10 was Florida, which won two of its three games against then-No. 1 Tennessee last week. There are no more undefeateds in the poll, with Grand Canyon losing its first game last Tuesday. And at the bottom of the top 25, UCF was replaced by Arizona State.

Bragg just won Big Ten Player of the Week honors after a strong series of performances in UCLA's series against Rutgers. In the first game, Bragg went 4-for-4 with 2 RBI. She's batting .455 on the season and will be a key factor in UCLA's big series this week against Nebraska.

It was a tough weekend for Mississippi State, which dropped two of its three games against then-No. 13 Georgia. But in the middle of the third and decisive game, outfielder Tatum Silva made this over-the-shoulder catch to save at least one run.

This will be the toughest test of the season for both top-ten sides. The top two programs in the Big Ten have both rolled for the last month or so. Nebraska has won its last 13 games and UCLA has won 22 straight after starting the season with three losses in its first nine games. This series will be an opportunity for both teams to get a sense of how they'll fare against the stiffest opposition.
