The picture of the coveted Oklahoma City Eight of the NCAA softball tournament bracket has crystalized.

Behind star pitcher NiJaree Canady, No. 12 Texas Tech on May 23 became the first team to advance to the Women's College World Series. The Red Raiders upset No. 5 national seed Florida State in a clean two-game sweep.

Three additional ranked teams joined Texas Tech in Oklahoma City on Saturday in No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 6 Texas and No. 16 Oregon. By winning the Norman Super Regional in a clean sweep over No. 15 Alabama, Oklahoma punched its ticket to the WCWS for the ninth consecutive season, in which Patty Gasso's Sooners will look to win their fifth straight national championship

The four remaining spots in the WCWS were locked up by the end of Sunday, with No. 3 Florida, No. 7 Tennessee, No. 9 UCLA and Ole Miss all winning "if necessary" Game 3 in their respective super regionals. They beat Georgia, Nebraska, No. 8 seed South Carolina and No. 4 seed Arkansas, respectively.

Action in Oklahoma City gets underway on May 29 with a quadruple header of first-round games at Devon Park. Here's what you need to know about who is advancing to the Women's College World Series, including a first look at the matchups in Oklahoma City and more:
