Back-to-back national champion Florida was selected the unanimous No. 1 program in the final 2015 USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Poll, announced Tuesday by the Association.

The Gators (60-7) garnered all 32 first-place votes after a second consecutive Women’s College World Series title.

Florida won the bookend games over Michigan in a thrilling three-game WCWS finals and finished with 60 wins for the first time since the 2009 squad went 63-5.

Powered by the arm and the bat of USA Softball Player of the Year and WCWS Most Outstanding Player Lauren Haeger, the No. 1 seeded Gators went 3-0 to reach their fourth final series with victories over SEC foes Tennessee (7-2), LSU (4-0) and Auburn (3-2 in 9 innings).

A 3-2 nailbiter in the opener put UF one win away, but Michigan responded with 1-0 old school pitchers duel triumph in the fastest (94 minutes) finals game since 2002.

However, the Gators scored early in game three and did not look back in a 4-1 victory to claim the program’s second national championship.

The runner-up Wolverines (60-8) received all 32 second-place nods to finish the season at No. 2, their highest finish since No. 1 in 2005. As with Florida, Michigan went a perfect 3-0 on its way  to its first national title series since winning the 2005 championship.

The third-seeded Wolverines defeated Alabama (5-0), UCLA (10-4) and LSU (6-3) to earn their title shot against the Gators.

A pair of Tigers, national semifinalists Auburn and LSU, finished the season ranked third and fourth. AU (56-11) culminated a record-breaking season by posting a 2-2 mark at its first WCWS.

After falling to LSU (1-6) in the opener, Auburn defeated Tennessee, 4-2, and UCLA, 11-10, in a four-plus hour 10-inning affair for the right to face Florida. In the first matchup of the season between the two SEC foes, the Tigers pushed the Gators to the limit before falling in nine innings, 23-2.

LSU (52-14) reached the semifinals for the first times since 2004 and the 50-win plateau since a 55-12 mark in 2007. The Tigers topped Auburn (6-1) in their opener before falling to the eventual champion Gators (5-0). LSU bounced back with a 5-1 elimination game win over SEC rival Alabama (5-1), but was eliminated by Wolverines (6-3) in the semifinals.

Rounding out the top five is UCLA. The Bruins (51-12) opened  with a 7-1 victory over Pac-12 rival and No. 2 seed Oregon, but dropped their next two contests to Michigan (4-10) and Auburn (10-11) in 10-inning marathon.

The final three WCWS participants Alabama (48-15), Oregon (51-8) and Tennessee (47-17) completed the final top eight teams in the country. Oklahoma (49-9) and Florida State (49-14), who fell in the Super Regionals to Alabama and Tennessee rounded out the top 10.

Returning to the poll at No. 17 is Kentucky (32-26) and at No. 19 North Carolina State (38-22). The Wildcats and Wolfpack reached the Super Regionals, but were swept by Florida and Oregon, respectively.
