Women’s College Basketball Players Rankings – Class by Class! Week 1

Freshmen Hila Karsh of Purdue

The first week of the 2025-2026 season is now over and there were plenty of great matchups. #16 Baylor upset #7th ranked Duke and #18 USC upset #9th ranked NC State. USC was able to manage that victory without JuJu Watkins who is out for the season with an ACL injury. Other AP Top 25 ranked teams faced off and some were victorious while others were not. That often happens in college basketball.

Listed below are the top 36 seniors, the top 27 juniors, the top 18 sophomores and the top 9 freshmen for the week of November 3rd to November 9th, 2025. You can view the preseason rankings here. Questions? First time viewing the rankings? You can read the FAQ page here.
