| 2 |  |
Notre Dame | Notre Dame keeps cruising along but going up against Tennessee on Monday will be very interesting. | 3 |
| 3 |  |
Connecticut | The Huskies knocked Duke down a notch in a 30 point win and blew out Cincinnati by even more. | 4 |
| 4 |  |
Stanford | Stanford took care of business against Utah and Colorado. After a long home stand, they are heading to Oregon. | 6 |
| 5 |  |
California | California hung on to beat Colorado 59-56. They added a victory over Utah last week as well. | 7 |
| 6 |  |
Duke | Duke was the last team in college basketball to lose a game, but it was a non-conference contest against Uconn. | 1 |
| 7 |  |
Tennessee | The Lady Vols kick off a three game week in a huge game against Notre Dame. MSU and Mizzou are on the slate too. | 8 |
| 8 |  |
Penn State | Penn State survived against Minnesota and Ohio State last week and should add another win at Wisconsin. | 9 |
| 9 |  |
Maryland | Maryland got a huge win against North Carolina last week to stay within striking distance of Duke. | 10 |
| 10 |  |
Kentucky | Kentucky lost just their second game of the season at South Carolina on Thursday and it never gets easy in the SEC. | 5 |
| 11 |  |
Texas A&M | The Aggies had no trouble with Mississippi State and Missouri. Vandy and LSU could prove to be tougher tests. | 12 |
| 12 |  |
Purdue | There were a couple of close calls against Northwestern and Michigan State, but Purdue got two wins. | 14 |
| 13 |  |
South Carolina | South Carolina’s defense was too much for Kentucky and Arkansas. This is a team playing great ball right now. | 22 |
| 14 |  |
North Carolina | UNC will need their momentum from a buzzer beater win over Miami when they play FSU and Duke this week. | 11 |
| 15 |  |
Louisville | The Cardinals played a couple very close games last week, but came away with two quality wins in the end. | 16 |
| 16 |  |
Dayton | Dayton has not been tested in conference play yet this season. Perhaps that will change on the road this week. | 17 |
| 17 |  |
Oklahoma State | The Cowgirls had mixed results during their stay in Kansas. The big one this week is against Baylor on Saturday. | 13 |
| 18 |  |
Georgia | It may not be wise to look past Alabama, but the Sunday game pitting Georgia against Kentucky should be great. | 18 |
| 19 |  |
Oklahoma | There is no shame in going to Waco and coming away with a 17 point loss. The Sooners need a good road win though. | 15 |
| 20 |  |
UCLA | The Bruins are hanging around in the Pac-12 race, but it will all come down to when Stanford and Cal come to town. | 19 |
| 21 |  |
Florida State | Florida State keeps adding on wins. This week they head to North Carolina for a tough matchup against UNC. | 23 |
| 22 |  |
Colorado | Northern California is a difficult road trip, but Colorado did very well against Stanford and Cal despite two losses. | 20 |
| 23 |  |
Nebraska | Nebraska is back in business after defeating Michigan State and regaining a winning record in Big Ten play. | NR |
| 24 |  |
Michigan | A home loss to Iowa was a bit disappointing and now the Wolverines will need to get the job done on the road. | 21 |
| 25 |  |
Iowa State | Iowa State added another loss to their resume against Baylor, but got a good win in Morgantown too. | 24 |
