Maryland dropped out of the Associated Press women's college basketball Top 25 for the first time in 13 years Monday, while South Carolina remained No. 1 and Baylor made the biggest leap -- seven spots to No. 14.

South Carolina (3-0) stayed in the poll's top spot, earning all 36 first-place votes. UCLA (4-0) moved up one spot to No. 2 -- the highest ranking in program history -- followed in the top five by Colorado (4-0), Stanford (4-0) and Iowa (4-1).

UConn (3-1) is No. 6 and is the active leader with 567 consecutive weeks in the AP rankings. The Huskies are followed in the top 10 by LSU (4-1), Southern California (3-0), Virginia Tech (2-1) and a tie between Utah (4-1) and NC State (4-0).
