The 2023-24 women's college basketball season is already delivering unexpected results, with the top five teams maintaining their dominance but plenty of action unfolding outside that elite group.

Top Teams Holding Strong

  • UConn remains at the pinnacle, leading the pack with their usual dominance.
  • The top five teams are still holding firm, but the competition below them is heating up.

Michigan's Meteoric Rise

  • Michigan has been on an incredible run, crushing Notre Dame by 39 points and then dominating Binghamton 120-50.
  • Their impressive performances propelled them from 13th to 6th in the rankings.
  • However, they won't have time to celebrate—they face a tough matchup against UConn next.

TCU's Climb into the Top 10

  • TCU has made a strong push, climbing into the top 10 after a close win over NC State.
  • Despite NC State's 2-2 record, their challenging schedule and potential keep them at 15th.
  • Notre Dame, meanwhile, is feeling the pressure after dropping to 23rd. They'll need a strong performance against USC to bounce back.

Duke's Struggles

  • Duke is in a tough spot, having fallen out of the top 25 and struggling on offense.
  • A loss to West Virginia didn't help, and their schedule isn't getting any easier.
  • They'll face South Carolina and LSU in the coming weeks—big tests for a team trying to find their footing.

Ohio State and Oklahoma State Under Pressure

  • Ohio State took a big hit with a loss to UConn, while Oklahoma State barely held onto the 25th spot after a close loss to St. John's.
  • Their previous dominance kept them in the rankings, but they'll need to prove themselves soon.

The Season is Just Getting Started

  • The season is just heating up, and these rankings could change at any moment.
  • It's anyone's guess who will come out on top.
