UCLA will enter the 2025 Women's NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed as well as the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25. The rest of the No. 1 seeds -- South Carolina, Texas and USC -- are in the top five.
The UConn Huskies, who were given a No. 2 seed in the upcoming tournament, are staying at No. 3 this week.
Since most of the major conference tournaments were already over by last Monday, there were hardly any changes in the AP rankings this week. The only movement is Creighton dropping down one spot to No. 23 after falling to UConn in the Big East championship game. Florida State, who lost to North Carolina in the ACC quarterfinals, moved up one spot to replace the Bluejays.

This was the last AP Top 25 before the NCAA Tournament begins. The will be no more rankings released until a champion is crowned in Tampa Bay, Fla. on April 6.
In this last poll before the Big Dance tips off, the SEC is well represented with eight ranked teams. The ACC and Big 12 have five each, and the Big Ten has four.
