UConn is back to being a unanimous choice as No. 1 in the AP women’s basketball poll. The Huskies routed then-No. 7 Ohio State in their opener by 44 points. Connecticut, which had all but one of the first place votes last week, plays Kansas State at home Monday night. The Buckeyes dropped to 11th.

South Carolina, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Baylor once again follow the Huskies to round out the first five. Maryland is sixth with Oregon State seventh. Mississippi State and Texas are tied for eighth, the best ranking for the Bulldogs in school history. Texas A&M rounds out the first 10.

Florida State had the biggest fall after losing to rival Florida, dropping eight spots to 14th. Iowa enters the poll at No. 25 while Chattanooga fell out of the rankings.
