Women’s College Basketball Standings 2025–26
Conference play is here — and the separation is starting.
The 2025–26 season has officially hit the part that defines March: conference games. Non-conference records built résumés, but league play exposes everything—depth, toughness, late-game execution, and who can win on the road.
Below is a snapshot-style breakdown of what’s standing out across the conferences.
The undefeated pressure cooker
A handful of teams are walking a tightrope right now—perfect overall records, plus early league wins.
SEC: Heavyweights AND surprise pressure
Texas (17–0, 2–0 SEC) looks every bit like a No. 1 contender with momentum and a clean sheet.
Vanderbilt (15–0, 2–0 SEC) is proving it’s not a fluke—wins are stacking and the defense travels.
The SEC race is already layered with multiple 2–0 teams right behind them (Kentucky, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee all opening strong).
Big 12: Texas Tech setting the pace
Texas Tech (16–0, 3–0 Big 12) is the headline. Perfect overall, perfect in league, and showing staying power.
West Virginia (13–2, 3–0) is right there—this is shaping up like a collision course at the top.
Big East: UConn in control
UConn (15–0, 6–0 Big East) is doing what elite teams do: handle business nightly and keep the standard high.
The next tier is battling to stay in range: Villanova (5–1), St. John’s (3–2), Marquette/Seton Hall (4–2).
Power-conference races tightening early
ACC: Four teams tied at the top
Conference play has started with a deadlock:
Louisville, Virginia, NC State, and Duke all sitting at 4–0.
That’s not a traffic jam—that’s a title race. Every head-to-head matchup from here on is basically a two-game swing.
Big Ten: UCLA leading the pack
UCLA (14–1, 4–0 Big Ten) is out front.
Close behind: Iowa (3–0), Maryland (3–1), Michigan State (3–1)—and the standings suggest the Big Ten will be a weekly shake-up league.
Mid-major leagues with real heat
Atlantic 10: Perfect start, multiple contenders
Rhode Island, La Salle, Davidson, George Mason all at 3–0.
That means this league is wide open—no easy wins, and road games are about to decide everything.
American (AAC): Early leaders emerging
Rice, East Carolina, UTSA, Charlotte all 2–0 in conference.
If you’re watching for “Tournament stealers,” keep this league on your radar—there’s balance and streaky teams that can turn hot fast.
ASUN: Top is crowded
Austin Peay, Eastern Kentucky, FGCU all 2–0.
That’s a three-way sprint early, and it usually comes down to who protects home court.
America East: Bryant and Vermont setting the tone
Bryant (2–0) and Vermont (2–0) at the top.
Early movers like Binghamton (1–0) are in position to make it messy fast.
What it means going forward
Undefeated teams are now the hunted—every opponent treats them like a championship game.
Ties at the top (ACC, A-10, AAC, ASUN) mean the next two weeks will completely reshape the standings.
Watch road records and streaks—that’s usually the first sign of who’s real.
