Pairs of teams travel to other pairs. For instance, UCSB plays Pacific when Poly plays Davis. Then, the reverse happens. This happens for both away and home matches. When the travel partners play each other, there is often a chance to add a non-conference match into the open slot. ...not to mention the close proximity of the two partner institutions. GoPOLY!!! |

Is San Diego State joining as UOP leaves next year? That's right. This is the Tigers last season competing in the BWC. |

I'm hoping that the Boise State does not get the eight votes necessary to join the BWC . They bring nothing to the conference, will be bad for the wvb RPI.

Travel to Boise would be as bad or worse than Hawaii. If just SDSU is added then presumably Davis would be Hawaii's travel partner, although I'm not sure how many flights there are from Sacramento to Honolulu. Sufficient, probably. LAX to Northridge is really not that far physically, but over some of the most traveled roads in the world.

What tv deal? The only Boise program that may influence a tv contract is going to the Big East.

Eight defensive players? I never really kept track, but has Hawaii ever had this many? |

Big West pre-season poll out: www.longbeachstate.com/sports/w-volley/spec-rel/080712aaa.htmlshocking news!!! Hawaii picked to finish 1st. Cal Poly got a vote to finish 1st! Either someone made a pencil mistake on the ballot, or the Cal Poly coach decided to make some weird type of motivational statement with his ballot. ....or most likely, Poly's coach let Jake fill out the Poly ballot. |

ok, so looking at this Big West predictions, three things stand out.
UC Riverside seems a little low at last, they do return two decent OHs.
UCSB tied for 4th, they had some key players to replace (L, OH, MB), seems high to me.
Cal Poly @ 7th. People must be putting a lot of faith in a new coach and some of the newcomers. Do they not know Graven transferred & Keddy is out.
1 coach picked Poly 1st, Hawaii 2nd, LB 4th. Wonder which coach did that??

LOL I was going to write that until I saw that you did.
