Sooners stay undefeated, still No. 1 in latest NFCA/GoRout DI Top 25 Coaches Poll
No. 24 Grand Canyon earns first-ever Division I national ranking
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With four more wins, including a road sweep of then-No. 12 Arkansas, Oklahoma remains No. 1 in the latest 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Sooners (26-0) picked up a few more first-place votes (23) this week to extend its advantage over No. 2 Texas (8), who collected four more wins, two at then-No. 3 Florida.
After a road win at Tulsa, OU took care of business in its first Southeastern Conference road series, opening with a 7-0 shutout of the Razorbacks (20-6) and following with 6-4 and 10-7 victories.
No. 24 Grand Canyon and previously-mentioned Ohio State enter the poll for the first time this week. The Lopes (22-3) are ranked for the first time nationally during their Division I era, while the Buckeyes (20-6) return after a near seven-year absence (22nd – April 10, 2018).
GCU, which has won 10 straight, was ranked as high as No. 7 in NFCA’s DII poll during their final season in NCAA Division II. Two of the Lopes three defeats came at the hands of then-No. 3 Florida and then-No. 20 Oregon.
Ohio State is coming off a week in which it took two-out-of-three from then-No. 20 Nebraska in Big Ten action.
The 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll is voted on by 31 NCAA Division I head coaches with one representing each of the NCAA’s Division I Conferences. Polls will be released Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. throughout the regular season. Records reflect games played through March 16, 2025.
