When Sooner State Baseball Report started in 2023, one of the things we did was try to evaluate who the best college team in the state is relative to their level of play. We did that by creating the SSBR College Power 10.

We take a look at who each team’s performance and the level of competition they have played. As the season goes on, head to head competition will obviously become more of a factor as well.

For example, are we saying that teams at the junior college level are better than say OSU or OU? No. But relative to their level, those JUCO teams could be having a better season than OSU or OU.

As a reminder, our first two Power 10 champs were ORU in 2023 after they made a run to the CWS, and MACU in 2024 after their dominant SAC regular season and tournament championships on the way to their first ever NAIA National Tournament appearance as a #1 regional seed. OK Wesleyan took the top spot in 2025 after winning the KCAC regular season title as well as finishing #11 in the final NAIA poll.

The previous 3 seasons’ polls were done by a single person, but in 2025 there is a panel. Each member ranks their top 10 and the points are added up to get the poll for that week.

Please note that OU, OSU, and ORU are now eligible since their seasons started this weekend.

This is for fun, so please treat it as such.

1. Oklahoma Sooners (NCAA D1), 3-0; Prev N/A

Quite simply put, OU was AWESOME this weekend at the Shriners Children’s Showdown in Arlington, TX. The Sooners dominated three squads from the Big 12 in Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and preseason #10 TCU.

Everyone will look at all the home runs and runs they scored (as they should), but do not overlook what the Sooners pitching did. Their 3 starters, Cam Johnson, LJ Mercurius, and Cord Rager combined for 16.1 IP and strikeouts

This week: Mon vs New Mexico State (in Arlington, TX), Fri-Sun vs Coppin State

2. OK Wesleyan Eagles (NAIA), 8-3; Prev #4

The Eagles had a light schedule this week with a series vs Bethany College to open KCAC play. The series got backed up to a Sunday start due to weather where the Eagles swept the DH vs the Swedes. Game 3 will be Monday
