With just two weeks left in the regular season, the picture at the top is starting to take shape. This seventh edition of the rankings spotlights the teams gaining momentum, those still seeking stability, and the breakout players making waves on the national stage.

Rankings reflect games played from February 7th through February 18th.

UConn (28–0) remains the nation’s only unbeaten team, continuing to control conference play with consistent dominance. Sarah Strong (19.3 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 3.3 SPG) and Azzi Fudd (18.0 PPG, 3.0 APG, 2.4 SPG) have set the tone on both ends all season long. With a manageable stretch remaining to close out the regular season, an undefeated finish is looking more and more likely for UConn.

UCLA (25–1) keeps building momentum in conference play, stacking quality wins over Michigan and Michigan State. Lauren Betts continues to anchor everything the Bruins do, leading the team in scoring (16.4 PPG), rebounding (8.4 RPG), and blocks (2.0 BPG). With reliable contributions across the roster, their depth stands out nationally and could be a major factor once March gives way to April.

South Carolina sits at 25–2 after securing two major wins over Tennessee and LSU despite limited player availability, further strengthening its grip as the SEC’s top contender. Joyce Edwards continues to lead the offensive charge, averaging 20.0 points per game. The guard trio of Ta’Niya Latson (15.1 PPG), Tessa Johnson (13.9 PPG), and Raven Johnson (10.2 PPG) has commanded the game on the perimeter. Meanwhile, Madina Okot (13.1 PPG, 10.5 RPG) continues to post a double-double average on the season.

Texas (24–3) picked up wins against LSU (in a rematch) and Kentucky, yet had no answers for Mikayla Blakes and Vanderbilt when the two teams met. Madison Booker continues to be the engine, leading the Longhorns with averages of 18.5 PPG, 6.6 RPG, and 2.4 SPG this season.
