Connecticut remains No. 1 in the women's college basketball rankings while North Carolina has taken a landmark slide down the Top 25.

The Huskies were the unanimous top choice in The Associated Press poll for the ninth straight week Monday after routing the Tar Heels 88-58. UConn gets its first test in the Big East on Monday night when it hosts No. 6 Louisville.

North Carolina plummeted to 10th after also losing at Georgia Tech and Maryland. The drop is the biggest one-week fall from No. 2. It was the first time the Tar Heels had lost three straight since 2002.

Oklahoma, Duke, Baylor and Auburn round out the first five.
