After starting the season 6-0 for the second consecutive season, the TCU Women's Basketball team jumped two spots to No. 17 in the AP Top 25 (up two spots) and to No. 21 in the Coaches Poll (up three spots).

The Frogs are ranked in November for the second week. They had not been ranked in November in 14 years. Last week, when they hit No. 19, it was the highest ranking since 2008.

The road ahead, though, is not easy. Last week, they beat then-No. 13 NC State 76-73. Their next opponent is No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cayman Islands Classic. And in less than two weeks, they will play defending National Champions and current No. 4 South Carolina at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.

Last week, then-No. 5 UCLA beat then-No. 1 South Carolina. As a result in the Week 4 polls, South Carolina dropped to No. 4 in the AP Top 25, and UCLA jumped into the top spot.
