2025-26 NCAAW Mid-Major+ User Poll Top 20: Preseason (Week 1)
This is not the main NCAAW user poll, for that poll go here
Top 20 rankings of teams in all conferences excluding the ACC, B10, B12, BE & SEC
The "+" in the poll name is a nod to the varied usage of the term "mid-major", as there are teams in this poll sometimes discussed as outliers, high or low majors etc. and the scope of this poll includes ALL teams outside of the 5 conferences mentioned above. Mid-Major is not an official term used by the NCAA and is not interpreted the same by all. The primary purpose of this poll is for starting conversations about the teams themselves, not the concept of a mid-major. Remember have fun and be courteous to others!
