UConn leads the first Power 10 rankings of the women's basketball season

UConn leads the first Power 10 rankings of the 2025-26 women's basketball season

Here is Autumn Johnson's first Power 10 of the women's basketball season.

1. UConn

The defending champs take down two ACC foes and raise their championship banner in style.

2. South Carolina

We saw right away the nation’s leading scorer being a complement to its already balanced roster.

3. UCLA

This Final Four team is here to stay!

THE BEST: The top 22 returning players this women's basketball season

4. Texas

It’s the Madison Booker show.

5. LSU

MiLaysia Fulwiley is getting comfy in LSU’s system… also impressed with the debut of ZaKiyah Johnson.

HELLO: New teammates to know about this hoops season

6. Oklahoma

Fun matchup tonight vs. UCLA that could shake the standings — Raegan Beers vs. Lauren Betts.

7. Baylor

Massive upset taking down then-No. 7 Duke, powered by a Taliah Scott takeover.

8. Maryland

The Terps hit the transfer portal jackpot, and this new-look team is well-connected already.

9. USC

No Juju Watkins… but USC slides in a new star, Jazzy Davidson (No. 1 recruit in the nation), to help a second-half surge to knock off NC State.

You gotta respect the top-10 wins in Week 1 from both Baylor and USC.

10. NC State

Couldn’t complete the back-to-back ranked mission, but the previous top-10 win over Tennessee saves the Pack for now.
