2. UCLA (Prev. 2)

3. South Carolina (Prev. 3)
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley reached a new milestone this week with 500 wins as the Gamecocks picked up their 18th consecutive win vs. LSU.
4. Michigan (Prev. 9)
The Wolverines sky into the top 5, snagging a ranked win over Michigan State. They sit at the No. 2 spot in the Big Ten standings, and three of their four losses have come against top-5 foes — UConn, UCLA and Vanderbilt — all decided by three points.
It’s time to start considering Michigan a top-5 team.
5. Duke (Prev. 7)
Duke knocked off in-state rival North Carolina to keep its 16-game winning streak alive in the ACC.
The Blue Devils have cracked the code to shake off early-season woes.
TOP 16 REVEAL: UConn, UCLA, South Carolina and Vanderbilt lead first release of the season
6. Vanderbilt (Prev. 5)
It's been an up and down week for the Commodores.
They defeated Texas, their second top-5 victory of the season, to be in the conversation for a No. 1 seed in the first Top 16 reveal of 2026. It's now a different story after falling to unranked Georgia on Sunday.
7. LSU (Prev. 6)
LSU suffered its fourth loss of the season on Saturday to South Carolina, 79-72.
Yet, considering the Tigers' other losses and how close the game was against the No. 3 team in the country, I only dropped LSU one spot.
8. Texas (Prev. 4)
The Longhorns struggled in their double-digit loss to Vanderbilt, 86-70, and then barely escaped Tennessee, 65-63.
THURSDAY RECAP: TCU's Miles scores 40 to lift the Horned Frogs past Baylor, Blakes drops 34 in Top-5 showdown
9. Louisville (Prev. 8)
Louisville had a quiet week with two ACC wins over Wake Forest and Florida State.
10. TCU (Prev. NR)
Welcome back, TCU. The Horned Frogs picked up back-to-back ranked wins over No. 12 Baylor and No. 19 West Virginia
OUT
Ohio State (Prev. 10)
The Buckeyes lost against ranked Maryland on Sunday.
