The ranking is an effort to project the postseason women's college soccer NCAA Tournament field of 64 each week, including the automatic qualifiers from every DI conference. The ranking update is posted each Monday after reviewing all results from the previous week. In the coming weeks, the ranking will transition to a reflection of actual tournament performance, round-by-round.

Stanford continues at #1. The current senior class just completed a remarkable 40-0-0 record in Pac-12 plat over their 4 regular season with the Cardinal. It would be difficult to pick anyone else as the NCAA Tournament top seed and favorite.
