My guess is that the top 4 seeds will come from the top 5 currently ranked RPI's. Through Games of Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010 [next update by 11/16] Generated: Monday 11/08/10 04:11 PM ------- Division I Only -------- Rank Name Conf W-L Road Neut Home Non-Div I 1 Florida Southeastern 22-1 8-0 2- 0 12-1 0-0 2 Illinois Big Ten 20-4 6-3 3- 1 11-0 0-0 3 Nebraska Big 12 22-2 9-1 3- 1 10-0 0-0 4 Stanford Pacific-10 20-2 8-1 4- 0 8-1 0-0 5 Penn St. Big Ten 21-4 7-3 2- 1 12-0 0-0 6 UNI Missouri Valley 24-2 11-1 5- 1 8-0 0-0 7 Southern California Pacific-10 20-4 7-3 4- 0 9-1 0-0 8 Duke Atlantic Coast 21-4 8-3 2- 0 11-1 0-0 9 Hawaii Western Athletic 23-1 5-0 0- 0 17-1 1-0 10 Minnesota Big Ten 18-8 5-6 3- 0 10-2 0-0 11 California Pacific-10 21-2 9-1 1- 0 11-1 0-0 12 Texas Big 12 17-5 5-3 0- 1 12-1 0-0 13 Dayton Atlantic 10 22-3 8-2 5- 1 9-0 0-0 14 LSU Southeastern 22-2 7-2 4- 0 11-0 0-0 15 Tennessee Southeastern 21-5 7-3 3- 1 11-1 0-0 16 Iowa St. Big 12 17-6 5-3 1- 1 11-2 0-0 For entire listing: web1.ncaa.org/app_data/weeklyrpi/2010WVBrpi1.html |

If you followed this for assigning seeds/regionals, the current bracket would look like this:
Seattle Regional
#1 Florida vs. #16 Iowa State
#8 Duke vs. #9 Hawaii
Dayton Regional
#2 Illinois vs. #15 Dayton
#7 USC vs. #10 Minnesota
Austin Regional
#3 Nebraska vs. #14 Tennessee
#6 UNI vs. #11 Texas
State College Regional
#4 Stanford vs. #13 LSU
#5 Penn State vs. #12 California
Had to adjust Texas up one and Dayton down 2 to avoid PSU, Texas & Dayton all going to the same regional.

No way Cal will be as low as #12! They are either going to win, tie, or get second in the strongest conference in the country.

That State College regional would be great. |

UCLA at 26 UW at 35 in danger of not being seeded.
San Diego at 38 probably makes it the only WCC team this year. (St. Mary's is all the way down at 72)
The Hawaii vs Duke matchup in the regionals is a joke, especially when Hawaii might be stuck in a subregional with UCLA, San Diego, and Long Beach State, all of whom are probably better than Duke.

If this bracket seeding were to hold true, doubt Hawaii would get that subregional. More than likely Washington would get to host and Hawaii would be sent there for 1st and 2nd rounds. |

Washington's rpi went down even after beating WSU because WSU is the worst rpi in the conference #165. They still have matches against #4 Stanford, #11 Cal, #28 Arizona, #47 Oregon....even if they lost to Stanford and Cal, just playing them will give them a bump in the rpi....but winning at least one against those top teams...or if they manage to win out, will shoot them up the rpi ladder and certainly into a seed. |

How could DUKE get a #8 overall seed when they are 26th in the AVCA, 19th in Pablo, 30th on the Richkern Pool and 8th in RPI? I hope the NCAA does not just go with RPI because a Hawaii, UCLA, San Diego,Long Beach Braket would be brutal!

It'll be interesting to see just how closely RPI is followed in women's volleyball this season. In women's soccer, the bracket came out and the top 3 in the RPI are the top 3 seeds. The 4th #1 seed went to Maryland, RPI #5, over Florida, RPI #4. Of the top 16 seeds, the top 15 in the RPI were all seeded. The #16 seed went to UCF, rated #18 in the RPI. If women's volleyball goes the same route, there's gonna be a ton of dangerous, unseeded teams, namely UCLA, Washington, Michigan, among others. I'd be hard pressed to believe they aren't among the 16 best teams out there, but it is what it is.
FYI, 3 seeded teams are not hosting. UCF(sent to LA), Texas A&M(sent to Minneapolis) and Wake Forest(sent to Irvine). West coast bias? ;D

I bet Cal would love to get the chance to end PSU's season rather than the other way around as has happened the last 3 NCAA's. But having to do it at Rec Hall wouldn't be their first choice of venues I'm guessing.

I think it's interesting that Minnesota-Dayton-UNI-Duke seem to be tied together somehow, but San Diego isn't. I have to be honest here: I think San Diego is better than all 4.
