Let’s dive into my Week 10 Power 10. My top three remain the same, but were all challenged this week.
(last week’s ranking in parentheses)
1. South Carolina (1) — Still unbeaten — however, Mississippi State hung close, only falling by seven points.
2. Stanford (2) — The Cardinal survived Cal by only four points thanks to a 7-0 run to close out the game.
3. Ohio State (3) — Outlasted Illinois by six points to remain undefeated, paced by Taylor Mikesell’s 31 points.

4. UConn (5) — The Huskies have won six in a row but are struggling to stay healthy, postponing the Jan. 8 matchup with DePaul due to lack of active players.
5. LSU (6) — 16-0. Its best start in program history. This week included an impressive performance by Angel Reese, recording 26 points and 28 rebounds, which broke a single-game rebounding record at LSU.
16 Games. 16 Double-Doubles.
