The eight-team 2025 Women’s College World Series field is set.

No. 2 Oklahoma dominated No. 15 Alabama in the super regionals, advancing to Oklahoma City for the ninth consecutive time while also searching for its fifth straight national championship. No. 12 Texas Tech earned its first ever WCWS appearance, Ole Miss was the lone unseeded team to make the final eight, and No. 6 Texas, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 9 UCLA fought back from Game 1 losses in super regionals to advance.

The SEC sent five teams to Oklahoma City (Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Ole Miss), the Big Ten has two (UCLA and No. 16 Oregon), while Texas Tech represents the Big 12.

World Boxing, the new organization slated to run the boxing events at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, announced Friday it had enacted a mandatory sex-testing policy with Algerian gold medalist Imane Khelif slated to return to competition next week at the Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands. 

Khelif became one of the main storylines of last summer’s Paris Games when the International Boxing Association alleged she had been disqualified from an event in March 2023 because she did not pass a chromosome-based gender verification test.

The International Olympic Committee, which stripped the IBA of its governing body status after a corruption investigation, questioned the credibility of the IBA’s testing process and allowed Khelif to compete in the female category on the basis of being listed as a female on her Algerian passport.  

Amid several days of international controversy, the 26-year-old Khelif won the gold medal in the welterweight division and said afterward: “I am a woman like any other woman. I was born a woman, I have lived as a woman, I compete as a woman. There is no doubt about that.”

Controversy bubbled up again in recent days when Khelif was entered in Eindhoven, prompting World Boxing’s rush to introduce sex testing under “special or emergency circumstances,” even as the organization acknowledged that its “Sex, Age and Weight” policies were still in development. 

“In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing,’ according to the release.

Last fall, the French publication Le Correspondant published what it claimed was a leaked 2023 medical report on Khelif showing that she was born with a rare genetic trait called 5-Alpha reductase type 2 deficiency, which is essentially an intersex condition or so-called difference in sexual development that showed in the presence of XY chromosomes, testosterone levels higher than the typical woman and internal testes.

Though some individual sport governing bodies like World Aquatics and World Athletics have developed participation policies on issues like transgender athletes and athletes with DSDs, the IOC stopped mandatory chromosome testing prior to the 2000 Olympics. That 25-year-old policy change was made at the urging of scientists and geneticists who did not endorse the so-called cheek swab method as precise enough to portray a full biological picture, given the vast array of mutations and conditions that could cause chromosomal anomalies without conferring an obvious or problematic competitive advantage.

The IOC cited this history, as well as the IBA’s opaque testing process and lack of due process afforded to Khelif, in explaining why she was allowed to compete in Paris. 

Khelif had competed on the international boxing circuit for years before the 2024 Olympics without controversy, including at the Tokyo Games in 2021, where she lost in the quarterfinals. 

World Boxing’s announcement Friday said that national federations would be responsible for testing and to confirm the sex of their boxer, and that failure to do so could lead to sanctions against the country and the athlete. The organization also says it reserves the right to do its own testing to confirm certification. 

“Where test results for boxers that want to compete in the female category reveal Y chromosome genetic material and a potential DSD, the initial screenings will be referred to independent clinical specialists for genetic screening, hormonal profiles, anatomical examination or other valuation of endocrine profiles by medical specialists.” 

Though World Boxing says an appeals process will be available to boxers who fail chromosome testing, it’s unclear whether it will include some type of policy like World Athletics, which allows track and field athletes with DSDs to compete in the female category if their testosterone is lowered below 2.5 nanamoles per liter for at least six months. 

On May 29, both Oregon and Ole Miss began their respective journeys in the Women’s College World Series with national championship dreams firmly intact.

Just over a day later, one of them will be exiting the tournament, with their season abruptly over.

After low-scoring losses on Thursday, the Ducks and Rebels meet Friday in an elimination game at the WCWS at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.

No. 16 national seed Oregon fell in heartbreaking fashion Thursday against current Big Ten and longtime Pac-12 foe UCLA, with the Ducks tying the game in the top of the seventh inning only for the No. 9 seed Bruins to turn around and get a walk-off, two-run home run in the bottom half of the inning for a 4-2 victory.

Ole Miss was dealt a different kind of pain in a 1-0 loss to No. 12 Texas Tech on Thursday, managing only two baserunners and striking out 10 times against Red Raiders ace NiJaree Canady.

Though the loser of the matchup will head home from the double-elimination tournament, the winner will play again Sunday against the loser of Saturday’s game between No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 6 Texas, last year’s WCWS championship series participants.

The Rebels’ bats won’t be as silent as they were against Canady and Texas Tech, but they may not have enough firepower to keep up with the Ducks, the No. 2 team in Division I in total runs this season.

The San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles are two of the NFC’s best teams over the last five years. They met in the 2022 NFC championship game with the Eagles winning and earning a spot in the Super Bowl. The next year, the two met in a regular season matchup with the 49ers getting the win en route to a Super Bowl berth as well.

Now, they’re making a deal for a pass rusher.

Philadelphia is reportedly sending edge rusher Bryce Huff to San Francisco for a future draft pick. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the deal. The trade won’t be processed until June 1.

The specific draft pick has not been disclosed. Due to losses in free agency, the 49ers are expected to get three compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, per OverTheCap: two in Round 4 due to losing guard Aaron Banks and cornerback Charvarius Ward as well as one in Round 5 for losing safety Talanoa Hufanga.

A move to secure Huff could involve one of those picks or earlier.

Huff is entering his age-27 season and spent the first four years of his NFL career with the New York Jets, three of which were under 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. The former undrafted free agent had his best season in 2023 under Saleh with 10 sacks.

Huff signed a three-year deal with the Eagles in 2024 and missed five games due to a torn ligament in his wrist.

Bryce Huff contract

Huff has reportedly reworked his contract to help this trade happen. Huff was set to make $16.75 million in 2025 – all guaranteed – but the Eagles have agreed to take on $9.05 million of that, leaving the 49ers to pay the remaining $7.95 million, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.

Here’s what he is slated to make in 2026 per OverTheCap:

2026

Base salary: $1.21 million
Cap number: $11.63 million
Guaranteed salary: $0

49ers edge depth chart

Huff joins a new-look defense in San Francisco for 2026. Here’s how things look at edge with that addition:

The 2025 NCAA baseball tournament is set to kick off Friday with regional action across 16 host sites.

As is the case in any tournament, some teams will have an easier path to reach the super regional – and eventually the Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Vanderbilt earned the No. 1 overall seed, but the Commodores don’t necessarily have the easiest path to reach the CWS.

Meanwhile, Southern Miss wrestled away the No. 16 seed and the final regional hosting privilege, but the Golden Eagles are rewarded with the toughest path to even reach the super regional round.

Here’s a power ranking of the toughest regionals in the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament based on the mean RPI of the four teams in the bracket:

1. Hattiesburg Regional

No. 16 Southern Miss: 19
Alabama: 13
Miami: 40
Columbia: 60
Median RPI: 33

The Golden Eagles barely earned the final top-16 seed to host the regional but will face the stiffest competition to reach the super regionals, which would be rewarded with potentially facing No. 1 Vanderbilt.

The Crimson Tide will come in with a chip on their shoulder after being denied a hosting bid despite finishing ranked No. 13 in RPI. The Hurricanes and Lions present the toughest draws as No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, respectively.

2. Knoxville Regional

No. 14 Tennessee: 10
Wake Forest: 30
Cincinnati: 34
Miami (Ohio): 80
Median RPI: 38.5

The defending national champion Vols don’t have an easy path by any means, as Wake Forest and Cincinnati have proven to be strong teams with top-34 RPIs during the regular season. Tennessee has the second-toughest regional opener, having to square off against Miami (Ohio).

If the Vols can come out of their regional, they’ll be as battle-tested as any team in the super regional round.

3. Corvallis Regional

No. 8 Oregon State: 7
TCU: 17
USC: 44
St. Mary’s: 89
Median RPI: 39.25

The Beavers earned the right to host not only a regional, but also a super regional if they can withstand the Corvallis Regional. Oregon State will have to get past a tough Horned Frogs team that narrowly missed making the tournament last season.

USC is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015, while Saint Mary’s won the West Coast Conference tournament championship.

4. Austin Regional

No. 2 Texas: 4
UTSA: 25
Kansas State: 37
Houston Christian: 94
Median RPI: 40

Not only did the Longhorns draw the short end of the stick by not getting the No. 1 overall seed, but they also have one of the hardest paths in the regional round. UTSA and Kansas State can give Texas a run for its money in the Austin Regional.

First-year coach Jim Schlossnagle has his work cut out with this regional draw.

5. Clemson Regional

No. 11 Clemson: 9
West Virginia: 28
Kentucky: 38
USC Upstate: 86
Median RPI: 40.25

Clemson will be one of a few seeded programs on upset alert, having to face a dangerous Mountaineers team. The Tigers don’t want to experience deja vu from last season when Florida walked into the Clemson Regional and knocked them off.

Playing in the SEC, Kentucky also played a gauntlet of a schedule and could prove to be a major challenge in the regional.

6. Oxford Regional

No. 10 Ole Miss: 12
Georgia Tech: 20
Western Kentucky: 42
Murray State: 90
Median RPI: 41

Ole Miss is back in the regionals for the first time since 2022 and hosting for the first time since 2021. However, the road to a super regional for the Rebels will be anything but easy.

The Yellow Jackets could very well have been hosting a regional if a game or two had gone their way in the regular season or the ACC tournament. Georgia Tech was projected to be one of the hosts leading up to the conference tournaments.

7. Conway Regional

No. 13 Coastal Carolina: 8
Florida: 18
East Carolina: 66
Fairfield: 74
Median RPI: 41.5

Coastal Carolina could argue it was underseeded after finishing with the No. 8 RPI in the country through conference championships. Yet, the Chanticleers are the No. 13 overall seed and face a squad that ended up winning a regional as a guest last season in Florida.

The Gators began the season 1-11 in SEC play but finished with 18 wins in their final 24 conference games. Florida is a dangerous visiting team, seeking its third consecutive College World Series trip. East Carolina and Fairfield are also ranked well within the top 75 in RPI.

8. Nashville Regional

No. 1 Vanderbilt: 1
Louisville: 32
ETSU: 36
Wright State: 102
Median RPI: 42.75

The Commodores earned the No. 1 seed after defeating Ole Miss 3-2 in the SEC tournament championship game and earning the No. 1 overall spot in the RPI heading into the selection show. Vanderbilt, despite a lofty baseball history, will be the top seed in the tournament for the second time in program history.

Vanderbilt will have to get past a pair of top 36 RPI-ranked teams, but it will open with a matchup against a Wright State team that went 2-10 against Quad-1 opponents.

9. Los Angeles Regional

No. 15 UCLA: 15
UC Irvine: 23
Arizona State: 49
Fresno State: 100
Median RPI: 46.75

The Bruins will have a tough test against UC Irvine and face a former Pac-12 opponent in Arizona State. However, opening against Fresno State gives UCLA a chance to open the tournament with positive momentum.

UCLA is playing in its first regional since 2022.

T-10. Chapel Hill Regional

No. 5 UNC: 6
Oklahoma: 26
Nebraska: 50
Holy Cross: 144
Median RPI: 56.50

UNC draws a favorable road in the regional round after beating Florida State in the ACC tournament semifinals. While Oklahoma was tested in the SEC, the Sooners played the No. 213-ranked out-of-conference schedule and finished with a 9-9 road record.

North Carolina went 25-6 at home this season.

T-10. Fayetteville Regional

No. 3 Arkansas: 5
Kansas: 24
Creighton: 45
North Dakota State: 152
Median RPI: 56.50

Arkansas’ path to the super regionals will start with North Dakota State, the No. 152-ranked team in RPI, but it will get tougher with matchups against potentially Creighton and Kansas from there. The Razorbacks posted a dominant 32-4 record at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas, this season.

Despite finishing the season 20-32, the Bison clinched an automatic berth in the tournament after winning the Summit League tournament.

T-12 Eugene Regional

No. 12 Oregon: 16
Arizona: 27
Cal Poly: 29
Utah Valley: 170
Median RPI: 60.50

The Eugene Regional is anything but a cakewalk, despite being this low on the list. Arizona and Cal Poly each had strong 2025 regular seasons and have more than enough talent to steal the regional and pull off an upset.

Utah Valley, which finished the season ranked No. 171 in RPI, is making its second-ever NCAA tournament appearance.

T-12. Athens Regional

No. 7 Georgia: 2
Duke: 31
Oklahoma State: 46
Binghamton: 163
Median RPI: 60.50

Despite having the same media RPI as the Eugene Regional, it’s clear the Bulldogs have a slightly easier path than Oregon. Duke is just outside the top 30 in RPI, while Oklahoma State finished the season 28-23 and 5-12 in Quad-1 games.

Binghamton is making its sixth NCAA tournament appearance and owns a 1-10 record, with its lone win coming in the Greenville Regional in 2009.

14. Tallahassee Regional

No. 9 Florida State: 14
Northeastern: 22
Mississippi State: 35
Bethune-Cookman: 200
Median RPI: 67.5

Link Jarrett and Florida State missed out on a hosting seed by one ranking. The Seminoles likely would have played host if they had defeated North Carolina in the ACC tournament semifinals. While RPI doesn’t suggest it, the Seminoles have to play a Northeastern team that has won 27 consecutive games and is arguably the hottest team in the nation.

15. Auburn Regional

No. 3 Auburn: 3
NC State: 33
Stetson: 62
Central Connecticut: 183
Median RPI: 70.25

The Tigers earning the No. 3 overall seed probably shocked a lot of college baseball fans, as their 38-18 record likely did not jump off the page. However, Auburn was the No. 3-ranked team when it comes to RPI. NC State, however, is a team capable of knocking off the Tigers and the Hatters always play a tough out-of-conference schedule.

Auburn opens the regional against Central Connecticut, which, despite a 31-15 record, went 0-2 in Quad-1 and 2 games.

16. Baton Rouge Regional

No. 6 LSU: 11
Dallas Baptist: 21
Rhode Island: 68
Little Rock: 238
Median RPI: 84.5

While LSU has the lowest median RPI of any regional, that does not mean its path to hosting a super regional is easy. Dallas Baptist is making its fifth consecutive regional appearance, including having pulled off an upset in the Columbia Regional in 2021.

Little Rock enters the tournament as the lowest-ranked team in RPI after finishing the season eight games below .500. The Trojans won five games in four days to win the Ohio Valley conference tournament and steal an automatic bid.
