Auburn softball remained No. 2 in the polls after a 3-1 start to the season, including a win over reigning national champion Oklahoma.

The Tigers, last year's WCWS runner-up, are ranked second in the USA Today/NFCA Division I coaches poll and the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, for the second straight week this season.

Florida (5-0) vaulted to No. 1 in both polls as Oklahoma, the preseason No. 1, fell to No. 4 in the coaches poll and No. 6 in the USA Softball poll.

Auburn received eight of 32 first-place votes and 758 points in the coaches poll, 13 behind the Gators, who received 18 first-place votes. In the USA Softball poll, the Tigers received one of 20 first-place votes and 462 points, trailing Florida by 24 points and 15 first-place votes and narrowly ahead of Florida State (three first-place votes, 456 points).

Auburn's home opener is 6 p.m. Thursday against SIUE at Jane B. Moore Field.
