(Sports Network) - Connecticut remained the top team in the latest Associated Press women's college basketball poll, but LSU's lengthy streak in the rankings came to an end.

The Huskies (1-0) are a unanimous pick this week after coming one first-place vote shy in the preseason poll. UConn received 44 first-place votes in the preseason, but garnered all 45 this week and a total of 1,125 points from a nationwide media panel.

LSU, meanwhile, had been ranked for 117 straight weeks. The Lady Tigers were 24th in the preseason poll, but a 56-50 loss to Notre Dame on Sunday dropped them from the rankings for the first time since February 25, 2002. It was the sixth-longest streak in the country behind Tennessee, Connecticut, Duke, North Carolina and Stanford.

Oklahoma, Rutgers, North Carolina, Tennessee, Duke, California, Stanford, Louisville and Baylor round out this week's top 10. Stanford dropped six spots from second after a loss at Baylor on Sunday. Baylor vaulted nine places from 19th to 10th.

The second 10 consists of Maryland, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Texas, Notre Dame, Virginia, Ohio State, Arizona State, Oklahoma State and Auburn. Maryland dropped eight spots from third after a loss to then-unranked TCU, which moved into the poll this week.

Purdue, Florida State, Xavier, TCU and Old Dominion are the last five teams ranked.
