South Carolina is again undefeated and the favorite entering the NCAA women’s tournament, but that doesn’t mean the Gamecocks won’t have a battle ahead of them.
The field is deep this March and potential title teams lurk all over the bracket. The Albany 2 region will be a gauntlet for any of No. 1 Iowa, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 LSU and No. 4 Kansas State to get through. That impacted their rankings on this list significantly.

1. South Carolina (Albany 1, 1 | 32-0 | 1)
The lone undefeated squad has to reign atop the power rankings.
