The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee is set to reveal its first top-16 rankings of the season Thursday night at halftime of the Tennessee-Notre Dame game on ESPN. The reveal will show how the committee would rank each of the top 16 teams in the nation if the season ended today, and into which region each of the top four teams (the 1 seeds) would be placed.

Since I have been keeping a running true ranking list of teams for my weekly Bracketology, I figured I should share with you my top 16 ahead of Thursday’s reveal.

I should also note that the committee’s top 16 will immediately replace my top 16 for the purposes of my weekly bracket. I’m shooting for accuracy, and there’s nothing more accurate than literally being given the answers.
