My 8 are:

Florida - possibly the easiest path.
Oklahoma - Not as dominant but relatively easy path..
Oklahoma St. - Will have to earn it.
Utah - Surprise!
Stanford - Still holding out hope that LSU can pull the upset.
UCLA - Must get by Va. Tech and hope Ga. doesn't catch fire.
Texas - Hoping for an epic A&M showdown.
Tennessee - Should have a fairly easy path if they don't choke.

Who you got?

From NCAA selection site, and I labeled these with letters to show the super regional pairings, so winners from A face off in the supers, for example :
A
Austin Regional – Austin, Texas
No. 1 seed Texas* (47-7) vs. Siena (33-20)
Northwestern (33-11) vs. Saint Francis (Pennsylvania) (40-12)

Bryan-College Station Regional – Bryan-College Station, Texas
No. 16 seed Texas A&M* (40-13) vs. University at Albany (33-12)
Texas State (45-13) vs. Penn State (34-18)

B
Baton Rouge Regional – Baton Rouge, Louisiana
No. 9 seed LSU* (40-15) vs. Jackson State (33-17)

D
Lafayette Regional – Lafayette, Louisiana

Gainesville Regional – Gainesville, Florida
No. 4 seed Florida* (46-12) vs. Florida Gulf Coast (37-19)
South Alabama (32-18-1) vs. Florida Atlantic (41-14)

E
Knoxville Regional – Knoxville, Tennessee
No. 3 seed Tennessee* (40-10) vs. Dayton (33-19)
Virginia (32-18) vs. Miami (Ohio) (48-7)

Tuscaloosa Regional – Tuscaloosa, Alabama
No. 14 seed Alabama* (33-17) vs. University of South Carolina Upstate (30-21)
Clemson (34-17) vs. Southeastern Louisiana (45-13)

F
Athens Regional – Athens, Georgia
No. 11 seed Georgia* (39-16) vs. University of North Carolina Wilmington (33-21)
Charlotte (38-16) vs. Liberty (36-23)

Los Angeles Regional – Los Angeles, California
No. 6 seed UCLA* (37-10) vs. Grand Canyon (48-11)
Virginia Tech (39-12-1) vs. San Diego State (31-18)

G
Columbia Regional – Columbia, Missouri
No. 7 seed Missouri* (43-15) vs. Omaha (41-13)
Washington (31-13) vs. Indiana (40-18)

Durham Regional – Durham, North Carolina
No. 10 seed Duke* (47-6) vs. Morgan State (35-18)
South Carolina (34-22) vs. Utah (34-20)

H
Tallahassee Regional – Tallahassee, Florida
No. 15 seed Florida State* (43-14) vs. Chattanooga (42-14)
Auburn (27-19-1) vs. University of Central Florida (30-23)

Norman Regional – Norman, Oklahoma
No. 2 seed Oklahoma* (49-6) vs. Cleveland State (22-24)
Oregon (28-19) vs. Boston University (52-4-1)

My picks for the Supers and I assume higher seed hosts
Texas v A&M @UT
LSU v Stanford @Stanford
Okie St v Arkansas @OK St
Ole Miss v UF @UF (Ole Miss the only upset in the regionals)
Vols v Bama @UT (the real UT)
UGA v UCLA @UCLA
Mizz v Duke @Mizz
FSU v OU @OU

CWS picks, CWS starts May 30th, and first game matchups would be:
Texas v LSU
Okie St v UF

Vols v UCLA
Mizz v OU

If they still do the weird bracket flip then we may have semis of UF v Vols and OU v Texas, if UF and OU win the first two.

Champion - OU, because it's hard to count against them. Still talented, #2 seed, just beat Texas soundly, and they have the best pitching coach in the nation. Sleeper pick UF, because hitting has been good down the stretch, and that has been their major weakness the past few years. Another OU v UF series would be great. UF has not been the same since the 2017 series with the marathon first game.

Admittedly, I have done a horrid job of following softball this season, so I feel like I know nothing about nothing. i gotta pull for my Sooners, I know they aren't the same team this year that they were last year, but that's the case every year and they still do amazingly well.

That's all I got, my days of watching softball live and in person are over so I hope I can stream some of these games on Flo sports.

Bama grinded out a run in the 6th to win 1-0. If SLU can block out the crowd they can win that regional.

Where's the poster who was bitching about McNeese flaming out in the SLC Tournament and how the best team in the SLC wasn't representing the conference?

SLU beating an ACC team in the 1st round... maybe SLU is worthy of representing the SLC in the tournament

Can’t give any MacNiece sports fan take any validity, very simple minded fan base.

Hell of a Gamble by SELA to score that run. Baited Bama into getting the runner on 1st in a run down and they fricked it up

SLU is the team that does all the stuff that annoys the hell out of people

Turning walks into doubles, make the defense think every time there's a base runner
