Chris Jones-USA TODAY Sports

South Carolina remained the consensus No. 1 and Kansas State climbed to No. 2 on Monday following a chaotic week that saw nearly half the teams in the Associated Press Top 25 women's basketball poll lose at least once.

The unbeaten Gamecocks (19-0) received all 35 first-place votes after wins against No. 9 LSU and Vanderbilt.

The Wildcats (20-1) matched their highest ranking in school history (from Nov. 25, 2002) after beating No. 13 Baylor and BYU to extend their winning streak to 15 games.

Iowa (19-2), Stanford (19-2) and North Carolina State (18-2) each climbed two spots to fill out the top five.

Colorado (17-3) fell three places to No. 6 following a loss at then-No. 25 Oregon State on Friday, and UCLA (16-3) slid five spots to No. 7 after losing at home against Washington State on Sunday.

Rounding out the top 10 are Ohio State (17-3), LSU (18-3) and Indiana (17-2).

Oregon State (17-3) made the week's biggest jump, vaulting seven spots to No. 18.

Princeton (15-3) re-entered the poll at No. 25 and is riding a 10-game winning streak. Florida State dropped out.
