A new year brings plenty of change, and the DII women’s basketball world cannot escape it. With Grand Valley State losing — which had a stranglehold on the top spot in the DII women’s basketball Power 10 rankings since the preseason — there is a new No. 1 in the land. The undefeated Ashland Eagles have the honor of being top dog (or bird, as the case may be).
Since we haven’t had a new Power 10 since last year (I know, I know), here is your reminder. The NCAA.com Power 10 rankings are mine, and mine alone. There is no committee voting, and I like to try and blend the metrics the selection committee uses with the ol’ eye test and which teams are playing good basketball.

Without further ado:
The third DII women’s Power 10 rankings of the regular season (Note: All games through Jan. 9)
No. 1 Ashland | Previous: 2: This team is looking scary, now 16-0 and pretty much blowing people out since November. The Eagles are the fifth-highest scoring team in DII women’s basketball and are winning games by more than 25 points a game, second best in the division. This team has incredible depth, but there is no denying Annie Roshak is playing like one of the best in the land.
No. 2 Drury | Previous: 3: The Panthers are 13-1…
