As if being the #1 seed means you should win it all, or you messed up. Can I asked why you left out the year they were the #1 seed and won it all? Where were the Cardinal last year.?How about the Cardinal in the final vs PSU?, and on and on and on, for any of the teams that are in that position consistantly. Again, if you are defining failure, as losing in 5 in regional finals and losing in the final, you're absolutely right. I am assuming your not a Stanford grad, and if you are a Stanford grad, the degree no longer impresses me. The Pac-10 will kick in the CornHuskers head once again inthe NCAA's and will make it 6 ina row. Stanford, USC,USC, Stanford, Washington........ Nebraska terrifies teams all season long until the Pac-10 steps in and lets them down gently. UW-Nebraska (3-0) in the 2005 finals.

I think the PAC 10 is by far the best conference, their record in the tournament speaks for itself, yet you guy's still feel the need to speak? You continue to make a "non" - point, That has absolutely no relevance to the point made.

I didn't know there was 2 USC teams in the Pac-10 Nebraska's #1 because they didn't go out and lose to BYU. OOh Stanford.. burned. Lol

I think the best Pac-10 team to match up well with Nebraska or Penn State is Stanford.
Stanford has the personnel to match up the talents on Nebraskan and Penn State teams, as well as a balance offensive system (especially their MBs).
UCLA has the personnel and depth on paper, but I'm still not fully sold on them yet. They have the hitters, but consistency wise, it may not be there yet.
UW has Morrison and the MBs, but I feel that Mussie and Sandell can be areas of weakness for the team.
For USC, it has been a one-woman offense in Kaczor the last few matches, and unless Gysin and Bishop/Tennant step up and support her, USC is the easiest of the aforementioned Pac-10 teams to shut down. One bright spot is Taylor and her "310" slams.

So far they seem to be good enough. When the tournament comes around, we'll worry about that then. There you go. Fair enough!

You know we are talking about when they were suppose to win it all and they didn't! 2 years in a row, heavy favorites but failed to win it all! And what about Penn State the last 2 years? Very dissapointing! If you are asking about Stanford last year. I'll let you answer this: Who was missing last year in their lost to Santa Clara?

One bright spot is Taylor and her "310" slams. In the last 3 matches, Stanford has shown it can really on Barboza, Richards, Girard and Akinradewo. For UCLA, UW, USC: their outsides and MBs (other than those who produce) need to step it up. Playing Pac-10 teams will help them increase their level of play.

Playing Pac-10 teams will help them increase their level of play. I agree with you. Stanford has 4 hitters who terminate the balls and can be depended upon (until Richard goes into a funk again). They are playing well and playing strongly over the last 2-3 weeks.

You can't use injuries for Stanford's loss last year to Santa Clara without also applying the same for Penn State's loss to Tennessee. How many matches did Stanford have before playing Santa Clara to get used to playing without Barboza and Kehoe? How many matches did Penn State have before playing Tennessee to get used to playing without Harmotto?

Ok, PSU lost 1- Harmotto
Stanford lost Barboza and their setter. Little more of a challenge. ALthough Goldhahn is good she is no Kehoe or Tortorello.
