UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina remain the top four teams in Monday's updated Associated Press Top 25 poll after a week with minimal women's college basketball action.
These four are the No. 1 seeds in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, which had its 68-team field announced Sunday evening before the tournament begins Wednesday with the First Four games.
Of the Top 25 teams, only two in No. 1 UConn (34-0) and No. 23 Princeton (26-3) have played since last Monday's poll update. The Huskies secured their 50th straight win with a 90-51 thrashing of Villanova in the Big East tournament championship on March 9, and the Tigers clinched their fifth straight Ivy League championship over the weekend by beating Brown and Harvard.
There were no teams added or removed from this week's poll and there was only one paired change in rankings this week. West Virginia (27-6) moved up a spot to No. 11 and Ohio State (26-7) dropped down a spot to No. 12 despite neither playing a game last week.
This week's Top 25:
1. UConn (34-0)
2. UCLA (31-1)
3. Texas (31-3)
4. South Carolina (31-3)
5. LSU (27-5)

13. Louisville (27-7)
14. TCU (29-5)
15. North Carolina (26-7)
