Disclaimer: The rankings below are for the games played through Sunday, January 26. Midweek games played since Sunday will be reflected on next week’s Power Rankings.

When we published the weekly Power Rankings last week, the TCU women’s basketball team had just suffered their first conference loss at Oklahoma State. But those Power Rankings were only for the games played through the previous Sunday (January 19). In that article last week, we said TCU remained in the top spot “for now.”

What we didn’t know at that time was that Kansas State would suffer their first conference loss just days later to Colorado. All the Wildcats had to do was win, and most likely, they would sit at the top this week. However, since both had a loss last week, not only did TCU maintain the top spot, but they were voted there unanimously this week. K-State remains a very close second.

Houston remains in last place this week. UCF remains at No. 15, but they have widened their margin over the Cougars.

We have brought together a group from across the league to vote on the Big 12 Power Rankings each week during the season.

Each week, each participant provides their rankings 1-16. Those rankings are compiled, and the average rank is then listed below. For the most part, our voters are not considering this week’s midweek games. However, some may have considered those games depending on when their votes were submitted.

Here’s where our panel of voters ranked the teams this week:

Here are our Week 13 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Power Rankings, as voted on by our group of sports journalists and fans representing many of the 16 teams in the conference. What did this week tell us? It told us that next Wednesday’s game in the Little Apple will give one team an edge in the conference standings.
