The final installment of ESPN's 2022-23 women's college basketball Power Rankings are here, and SEC tournament champion South Carolina finishes where it started.
The Gamecocks were the wire-to-wire No. 1 team in Power Rankings this season. In all, 28 teams have been in our rankings at some point this season, with seven — South Carolina, Stanford, UConn, Iowa, Notre Dame, Indiana and LSU — making the list every week.
These final rankings give us plenty to think about and debate. We reiterate this is a little different than Bracketology or the AP Top 25 poll; the Power Rankings try to reflect more of a weekly snapshot of who's hot and why.
And some compelling conference tournament results had an impact on that this week. The Virginia Tech and Washington State won the ACC and Pac-12 titles, respectively, for the first time.
