Certainly have to put Nebraska as best chance at repeating to Final 4. If Stanford can find good backcourt defenders they will be back (Nnamani and Richards were huge for them in back row, and everybody was serving Klineman in high school). Penn State and Texas should be other top seeds. Outsider will be a good team with home court advantage in regionals, ala Washington this year. Probably Wisconsin or Minnesota. Actually, under reasoning that Nebraska started #1 as team with the best chance to win, Stanford could be #1 to start year, since finals will be 70-80 miles away. That won't happen, though.

Stanford is getting Gabi Ailes from Nebraska. She is touted as the best libero of her class - which means she can probably pass the ball better than Jess Fishburn.

Pac-10 teams disqualified since the finals are in sacramento. Except Arizona and Arizona State. lol rubio lol This is also assuming Flrorida changes setters Karma stipulates McGinnis to the bench. I do think Florida will be very good next year, if 2 things happen. They stay healthy, that was a problem all season and Kisya either becomes a great outside or she moves back to the middle. This team will be very deep at all positions, something that hasn't been the case the last few years. 1981: UCLA hosted; USC won. 1984: UCLA hosted; UCLA won. 1986: Pacific hosted; Pacific won. 1991: UCLA hosted; UCLA won. 2001: San Diego hosted; Stanford won. 2004: Long Beach hosted; Stanford won. Since Nebraska's winning in Omaha apparently taint's the Husker's championship this year we also have 5 tainted Pac-10 championships and 6 overall tainted California team championships. The horrors!

Looks like everyone has pretty much all the same top 5 teams. I wonder if there may be a wildcard next season. I think someone else mentioned Minn or Wisc if they host regionals.
After the first 4-5 teams I think it will be wide open next season with any team being able to win on any given night.
Other teams that may be in the top 10 to begin the season,
USC UCLA Florida Hawaii Minnesota Wisconsin Cal

No wonder the Pac-10/West coast has so many titles. What a crock. I say they strip all of those teams of their titles, it's not fair.

Palo Alto isn't really that close to Long Beach or Diego. That means Stanford titles are still legit. Just playing.

That might just be why that match wasn't on my list.

Besides, Stanford isn't all that far away from the LA area.

Didn't some of you get sufficient revenge in the Nebraska/Stanford thread, or do you need to contaminate every thread with the same tripe before you are ready to give it a rest?

Wow, 2 threads is every thread now. How many theads did we see throughout the tournament regarding how Nebraska had no chance against any of the Pac 10 teams? Don't let the tripe splatter on ya. Congrats on being the prognosticator of the year again though.

Anyways, a Cal or Stanford win next year would be tainted to the max. Or San Jose State.
