Five preseason polls have the Gophers ranked No. 8 or higher
The University of Minnesota Gophers are entering the 2020 season ranked top-10 in five preseason polls.
Traditionally NCAA softball has recognized both the USA Today/NFCA Coaches Poll and the ESPN.com/USA Softball polls which have the Gophers No. 8 and No. 7, respectively.
Softball America has the Gophers at No. 6 in its second year with a preseason poll. FloSoftball also has the Gophers slotted at No. 6 while D1Softball pegged Minnesota at No. 7 in its first year.
This is the sixth straight season the Gophers have started the season in the Top-25. Last year, the Maroon and Gold ended the year No. 8 in both major polls, the highest to end a season in program history.
