UConn remains No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll after a busy week that saw the Huskies win all three of their games by double-digits.

They beat Tulsa, Houston and South Florida to stay undefeated. UConn was once again followed by South Carolina, Notre Dame, Texas and Ohio State on Monday.

While the top of the poll stayed consistent, four new teams entered the Top 25 this week as Florida, Miami, Louisville and Southern California all got ranked.

It’s the 20th-ranked Gators’ first appearance in the poll since 2009. With 14 victories they’ve already surpassed last season’s win total (13). Miami and Louisville were in earlier this season while USC was last ranked in the final poll of the 2014 season.

Northwestern, DePaul, California and Seton Hall dropped out.
