AP women's college basketball Top 25 poll breakdown - ESPN

The new AP Top 25 women's college basketball poll is out.

The UConn Huskies are the only undefeated team in the nation after the Vanderbilt Commodores lost for the first time on Sunday.

The results of a pair of SEC showdowns shuffled the top of the rankings. The South Carolina Gamecocks — which lost at the then-No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners on Thursday but rebounded to beat the Commodores on Sunday — dropped one spot to No. 3. The Sooners climbed six spots to No. 10.

The Georgia Lady Bulldogs moved into the ranking after beating then then-No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats, who dropped seven spots. That gave the SEC a record 10 teams in the Top 25.

What does it all mean for the AP Top 25? Let's break down the rankings.
