NCAA.com correspondent Autumn Johnson has revealed the season’s eleventh Power 10 rankings.
1. UCLA (Previously 1)
The top-ranked Bruins are still undefeated after a commanding 34-point win over Purdue last week.
2. South Carolina (Previously 2)
The Gamecocks aced their first test of their voyage facing five consecutive ranked teams in a row, dismantling Texas, 67-50. The Gamecocks are so overwhelming on both ends, holding Texas to its lowest scoring output of the season.
3. Notre Dame (Previously 3)
The Fighting Irish are cruising along in the ACC, beating Wake Forest and Clemson last week.
4. Southern California (Previously 4)
The Trojans picked up their second top-10 win of the season vs. Maryland on Wednesday. The No. 1 freshmen class in the nation was the X-factor in this battle, combining for 31 points in crucial moments. Then in Sunday’s 95-73 win over Penn State, JuJu Watkins led the way with 35 points.
5. UConn (Previously 5)
UConn is storming away in the Big East, picking up wins over Xavier and Georgetown last week without Paige Bueckers.
6. LSU (Previously 6)
The Tigers had a thrilling 89-87 win over Tennessee. Kailyn Gilbert continues to call her own number for big-time plays and delivered with the game winner against the Vols for a ranked road win. Aneesah Morrow also had a monstrous double-double with 23 points and 21 rebounds.
7. Ohio State (Previously 9)
The Buckeyes are still undefeated after taking down rival Michigan and Oregon.
8. Maryland (Previously 7)
The Terps fell to USC in a close battle for their first loss of the season. I still believe this squad deserves to be in the top 10 after challenging the No. 4 team in the country. Shyanne Sellers reminded everyone she’s one of the best two-way players in the nation.
9. Texas (Previously 8)
The Longhorns faced South Carolina and looked out of sorts offensively, but I believe this is also still a top-10 team in the country, receiving just its second loss of the season to the No. 2 team in the nation.
10. Kansas State (Previously NR)
The Wildcats are 17-1 with a big win over Utah. Not only do the Wildcats possess a top-5 defense, but also a balanced attack that is top 10 in scoring. The next challenge will be facing new Big 12 foes on their Arizona swing, hosting both Arizona and Arizona State.
Dropped out
Georgia Tech — The Yellow Jackets’ undefeated start is over after back-to-back losses to Virginia Tech (in double overtime) and Louisville.
