Women's Basketball Poll Watching Week 15: South Carolina Still on Top

Going undefeated in a full season of basketball is hard. Most of the best teams, in both men's and women's, haven't been able to do it.
Last year, the South Carolina women's team went undefeated in the regular season and lost their only game of the season in the Final Four. This year's team very well could go another regular season undefeated. With six games left, the feat is quite possible.
With their undefeated record, South Carolina remains the unanimous No. 1 team in both polls again this week. After South Carolina, the three teams that were Nos. 2-4 last week all dropped, moving other teams in the Top Five - Ohio State, Stanford, Iowa, and Texas.
The Big 12 has two teams in the Top Ten - Texas and Kansas State, plus three more ranked teams - Baylor, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. In addition, two of the teams joining the Big 12 in July - Colorado and Utah - are having great seasons and have been ranked each week.
