Fresh off its record-breaking 91st consecutive victory, UConn remains the No. 1 team in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll.

The Huskies (16-0) routed SMU on Saturday to best their own NCAA mark and stay as the unanimous choice atop the poll. They garnered all 33 votes from the national media panel Monday. Baylor, Maryland, Mississippi State and South Carolina follow the Huskies as the first five teams were unchanged.

Notre Dame, Florida State, Washington, Louisville and Stanford round out the top 10 teams. The Irish played Tennessee on Monday night.

Texas and UCLA both had the biggest jump in the poll, moving up four spots each to 12 and 13. West Virginia dropped the most, falling six places to No. 24.

Texas A&M re-entered the poll at No. 25 while California fell out.
