Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
1 | Connecticut | Perhaps Connecticut's best chance to lose in the regular season comes in the finale at Louisville. | 1 | |
2 | Notre Dame | Notre Dame finished up the regular season with a perfect 29-0 record. We won't look ahead to Uconn quite yet. | 2 | |
3 | Stanford | The Cardinal wrapped up the regular season with a 28-2 overall record and a Pac-12 title. | 4 | |
4 | Louisville | Louisville can take a huge step towards a #1 seed if they can beat the Huskies on Monday night. | 5 | |
5 | South Carolina | South Carolina's ten game winning streak came to an end in Knoxville, but they still got an outright SEC title. | 3 | |
6 | West Virginia | WVU may have to do it again in the Big 12 tournament, but that win over Baylor should put them in #1 seed talk. | 11 | |
7 | Maryland | Besides the baffling loss at Virginia, the Terps have had a superb season and will be a tough out in the tournies. | 8 | |
8 | Tennessee | The Lady Vols have played very well in February and this could be the team to beat in the SEC Tournament. | 10 | |
9 | Baylor | Baylor fell at home to West Virginia in what turned out to be the game of the year in the Big 12. | 6 | |
10 | Penn State | After falling to Nebraska, Penn State did their part to earn a share of the Big Ten title by beating Michigan. | 9 | |
11 | North Carolina | The Tar Heels could not compete with Notre Dame, but they beat Duke for the second time this season. | 12 | |
12 | Duke | Until Duke runs into Notre Dame or UNC in the ACC Tourney, they should feel good about their chances. | 7 | |
13 | Kentucky | With a 10-6 SEC record, Kentucky earned the #4 seed in the conference tournament. Their NCAA seed could be better. | 13 | |
14 | North Carolina State | NC State couldn't ruin Notre Dame's perfect regular season, but nobody will complain about a 24-6 record. | 14 | |
15 | Purdue | With their quality win over Nebraska on Sunday, Purdue is on a roll heading into the Big Ten Tournament. | 20 | |
16 | Michigan State | Not many expected Michigan State to tie atop the Big Ten. Their tough defense keeps them in nearly every game. | 21 | |
17 | Texas A&M | Texas A&M took care of business against Arkansas and Florida and can improve their seed in the SEC Tournament. | 17 | |
18 | Nebraska | Nebraska's nine game winning streak was snapped by Purdue, but the Cornhuskers have time for more big wins. | 15 | |
19 | Oklahoma State | The Cowgirls can wrap up third place in the Big 12 with a win over Texas on Monday night. | 18 | |
20 | Gonzaga | Gonzaga won another West Coast title and finished with just four losses on the year. | 23 | |

22 | Iowa | Iowa will have to play on day one of the Big Ten Tournament, but another win will only help push up their NCAA seed. | NR | |
23 | California | Despite 43 points from Reshanda Gray, it took OT for Cal to beat WSU. They then lost to Washington. | 16 | |
24 | Iowa State | The Cyclones hope to build off of a three game winning streak with a home date against Baylor on Tuesday. | NR | |
25 | BYU | BYU have won eight in a row and hope to take that momentum and win a WCC Tournament title. | NR |
