Ferris State picked up a huge win over then-No. 1 Grand Valley State this past weekend. The victory propels the Bulldogs up the latest DII women’s basketball Power 10 rankings as we see an all-too-familiar face reclaim the No. 1 spot.
Ashland has just one four-point loss this season (also to Ferris State) and is currently on an eight-game winning streak. It isn’t simply eight wins in a row; all but one game haven’t even been close, as the Eagles have won games by 27.4 points per game on their current streak. That is a statement by the defending champs.

Here is your weekly reminder: These are my rankings, and I try to capture an overall picture of DII women’s basketball. That usually means my rankings look different from the national rankings. I try to combine selection committee metrics with the simple eye test while looking at what lies ahead to see if teams can maintain their current hot-streak status. As with the DII men’s basketball Power 10 rankings, this season I will be using stats from InkblotSports. You can see those metrics — which include RPI and PI amongst other selection metrics — here or join the Inkblot Sports Patreon here.
