This past week, UConn remained undefeated when they faced Tennessee in their longtime rivalry series. It was a blowout win. UCLA remains undefeated in the Big 10 conference while Duke and Louisville remain undefeated in the ACC conference. There are now only four weeks left before I release the Final Overall NCAA Women’s College Basketball Players Rankings List for 2025-2026. There has been more parity than ever before, so some particular names may not make the final list.
Listed below are the top 36 seniors, the top 27 juniors, the top 18 sophomores and the top 9 freshmen for the week of January 26th, 2026 to February 1st, 2026. You can view the previous week here. Questions? First time viewing the rankings? You can read the FAQ page here.
