The top of the women’s college basketball AP poll should look basically the same this week as it did last week. That’s because the top 10 teams all won this past week. The first loss? No. 11 Iowa, which fell to top-ranked UConn.

Here’s my projection of what Monday’s AP Top 25 poll will look like after a week that was relatively light on upsets. And remember: this isn’t what my ballot would look like, but a projection of what I expect the AP poll itself to look like.
