2/25 Women’s Basketball Top 25 Rankings
February 25, 2013 · CSM Staff
| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  |
Baylor | Baylor proved that they belong on top after winning at Connecticut on Monday night. We may see that one again. | 1 |
| 2 |  |
Notre Dame | The Irish cruised past Marquette and DePaul. This week they face Syracuse and Providence before the big one. | 2 |
| 3 |  |
Stanford | Stanford crushed OSU and OU last weekend. This weekend they’ll probably do the same against UW and WSU. | 4 |
| 4 |  |
Connecticut | Losing to Baylor is nothing to worry about quite yet, but it was at home and the Huskies need to find a way. | 3 |
| 5 |  |
Duke | Duke clinched the ACC regular season title with their win over Maryland, but a hungry Miami team is next. | 6 |
| 6 |  |
California | It took one heck of a comeback for Cal to beat Oregon State 58-56 at home. That may have been a wakeup call. | 5 |
| 7 |  |
Penn State | Penn State is the cream of the crop in the Big Ten, but they end at Minnesota and at Nebraska. | 9 |
| 8 |  |
Tennessee | The SEC is on the line during the final week, but Tennessee holds its own destiny against TAMU and Kentucky. | 10 |
| 9 |  |
Maryland | The Terps could not knock Duke from the ranks of the conference unbeaten, but they may get another shot. | 7 |
| 10 |  |
Texas A&M | The Aggies surprise loss at Vanderbilt leaves them two games behind Tennessee, their next opponent, in the SEC. | 8 |
| 11 |  |
Georgia | Georgia may be all but out of the running for an SEC title, but they can finish strong against MSU and Vandy. | 12 |
| 12 |  |
Kentucky | The Wildcats had a tough loss at LSU, making a conference title very unlikely. They wrap up against Tennessee. | 11 |
| 13 |  |
North Carolina | With wins over Virginia Tech and NC State, the Tar Heels are eyeing second place behind Duke in the ACC. | 17 |
| 14 |  |
Dayton | The Flyers are 12-0 in A-10 play, but their final game on Saturday is against a St. Joe’s team that needs a big win. | 14 |
| 15 |  |
South Carolina | The Gamecocks should finish strong with their final regular season games coming against Mizzou and Florida. | 15 |
| 16 |  |
Louisville | Louisville learned the hard way that South Florida has a great team this year, but they did beat Villanova. | 13 |
| 17 |  |
Delaware | Not surprisingly Delaware got tested by James Madison, but it may have been a bit too close for comfort. | 18 |
| 18 |  |
UCLA | The Bruins beat up on crosstown rival USC a couple times last week. Now they are off to Arizona. | 19 |
| 19 |  |
Nebraska | Nebraska is playing very well and this Sunday’s finale against Penn State could be a classic. | 21 |
| 20 |  |
Colorado | Colorado swept the Washington schools at home and now they take their last road trip of the year…to Oregon. | 20 |
| 21 |  |
South Florida | The Bulls are on a roll right now and wins over Louisville and Syracuse prove it. Rutgers and Uconn are next. | NR |
| 22 |  |
Syracuse | Syracuse lost at South Florida, but USF is a very underapprecited team. The schedule is tough the rest of the way. | 16 |
| 23 |  |
Green Bay | The Phoenix finish up with three of their last four games on the road, but they should still be perfect in Horizon play. | NR |
| 24 |  |
Iowa State | Beating Kansas State is nothing to write home about, but it was enough for the Cyclones to get back in the top 25. | NR |
| 25 |  |
Purdue | The Boilermakers fell yet again last week. They did get a decent win at Minnesota on Sunday though. | 24 |
