| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | Duke | Duke did not have much trouble with Wake or Clemson last week, but they still need to prove they belong on top. | 1 |
| 2 |  | Baylor | Baylor, again, took care of business against a ranked team…this time winning 82-60 at Kansas. | 2 |
| 3 |  | Notre Dame | South Florida gave the Irish a bit of a scare, but that was probably just a bit of a hangover following the Uconn win. | 3 |
| 4 |  | Connecticut | The Huskies rebounded nicely from their home loss to Notre by beating Georgetown and Marquette on the road. | 4 |
| 5 |  | Kentucky | The Wildcats keep on winning. The latest victims were TAMU and Missouri. The next are MSU and Auburn. | 6 |
| 6 |  | Stanford | Stanford lost at home to California on Sunday afternoon. Next up is another big game against UCLA. | 5 |
| 7 |  | California | California managed to beat Stanford on the road after losing earlier in the week to the Cardinal at home. | 7 |
| 8 |  | Tennessee | Tennessee held on for a big overtime win at Florida on Sunday. This week they'll take on Auburn and Alabama. | 8 |
| 9 |  | Penn State | With a win over Nebraska, Penn State pretty much just has Purdue standing between them and a Big Ten title. | 9 |
| 10 |  | Purdue | Purdue won their first two conference games on the road and will look to add a couple home wins this week. | 10 |
| 11 |  | Maryland | The Terrapins got a quality win over Miami before beating up on Virginia Tech. This week should be easier. | 11 |
| 12 |  | North Carolina | It was a closer game than expected against NC State, but UNC came away with the win. | 12 |
| 13 |  | Oklahoma | After victories over TCU and Texas Tech, Oklahoma is still perfect in Big 12 play. The schedule gets tougher soon. | 13 |
| 14 |  | Georgia | Georgia won a shootout against Bama and a few days later won a 42-40 game against South Carolina. | 15 |
| 15 |  | UCLA | This is a huge week for the Bruins as they head to NoCal. If UCLA wants to win the Pac-12, they need to win. | 14 |
| 16 |  | Louisville | Louisville got past Rutgers and Providence, but the big game is Tuesday night at Connecticut. | 16 |
| 17 |  | Oklahoma State | The Cowgirls had a great week, knocking off Kansas and going to Austin and coming away with another quality win. | 18 |

| 20 |  | Texas A&M | The Aggies, yet again, could not beat a top team, but they did play very, very well against Kentucky in the loss. | 22 |

| 22 |  | Michigan | Michigan remained undefeated in Big Ten play with a win over Wisconsin, but the toughest games are yet to come. | NR |
| 23 |  | Kansas | Kansas had a bad week, but the schedule was very tough. Games against TTU and Texas will be more manageable. | 19 |
| 24 |  | Florida State | After being upset by Wake Forest at home, the Seminoles got a quality win over a good Miami team. | 23 |
| 25 |  | Vanderbilt | Vanderbilt lost at South Carolina, but they beat Arkansas on Sunday. They'll have another tough one at LSU on Sunday. | NR |
