TITLE: Texas Tech tops the preseason Power 10 softball rankings for 2026 TEXT: It is time for my preseason Power 10 rankings for the 2026 college softball season. There's been a lot of debate for the No. 1 team, but I went with Texas Tech. This is a team that made it to the national championship series last year, led by NiJaree Canady, and now the Red Raiders added another ace in Kaitlyn Terry, along with Mia Williams, Jazzy Burns, Taylor Pannell and more.
