No. 7 Georgia
Focus on what Georgia lacks, if you like. The Bulldogs, after all, will take the field in Oklahoma City without their ace after senior Brittany Gray suffered a season-ending injury in April. But this is also a team that showed a lot of versatility in moving on without Gray. Need to find new ways to win? How about Cortni Emanuel, the nation's stolen base leader and a short-game specialist hitting the home run that clinched the super regional? Or pitcher Mary Wilson Avant coming close to a no-hitter in that same game. Georgia can give you tangible -- its offense ranks in the top five nationally in slugging yet also has more stolen bases than any World Series participant. But it's the combination of run production and that typical Georgia stubborn streak that entices.
