No team drops out at the top of the rankings in the updated Division II women's basketball poll, and there are not many notable changes among the top five teams.

However, some teams may still be gearing up to make a big run as the season progresses and tournaments approach.

Here is everything you need to know about this week's rankings. See which teams are looking good and what others may need to polish things up, as time could be running out.

Grand Valley State Still No. 1

  • The GVSU women's basketball team continues to play great basketball, but their opponents can't keep up. 
  • Two lopsided victories this past week put the Lakers at 17-1 and continued their winning streak over Division II opponents. The only loss on the season came against the Big Ten team, Ohio State.
  • Grand Valley State will play two home games this week as it seeks to continue its strong run of play.

What Actually Changed?

  • Pittsburg State women's basketball moves up to the top ten after just being outside of it last week, now ranked at no. 9 
  • Defending champions, Minnesota State WBB is also telling teams that they are coming to regain the national championship, moving up four spots from no. 10 to no. 6.
