Notre Dame soared to No. 1 as UCLA and South Carolina sank in the women's basketball Associated Press Top 25 poll released Monday after a landscape-shifting week.
The loss by UCLA to Southern California last Thursday dropped the Bruins from No. 1, where they'd sat since Thanksgiving. The Bruins (24-1) fell to No. 3, while the Trojans (23-2) rose two spots to No. 4.
Notre Dame (22-2) has won 17 in a row following a dominant 88-57 win at Pitt on Thursday. This is the first time since 2019 that the Fighting Irish have occupied the No. 1 spot. They captured 16 of the 30 first-place votes.
Moving up one spot to No. 2 is Texas (26-2). The Longhorns have won 10 in a row, including three straight against fellow Southeastern Conference teams ranked in the Top 10.
The Longhorns' No. 2 ranking is their highest since 2017. They earned eight first-place votes, with UCLA garnering the remaining six.
Coming in at No. 5 is UConn (24-3), which rose two spots after its 87-58 trouncing of defending national champion South Carolina on Sunday. The Gamecocks (23-3) fell two places to No. 6 after seeing their 71-game home winning streak halted.
Rounding out the Top 10 are No. 7 LSU (25-2), Ohio State (21-3), North Carolina (23-4) and TCU (24-3).
