Of the 10 above - I think Colorado and Saint Marys are almost locks of getting a bid. I don't get why St. Mary's should be so close to a 'lock'. maybe so if one considers a good reason to select them is they conveniently are close to travel to Palo Alto Saint Marys and Hawaii (and Denver) have the better RPI and many places ahead of others. But yes - none are completely safe (maybe Colorado).

OH! Me! Me! I can do this. I see this as the final 10 teams going for the last 6 open spots. Colorado Denver Hawaii KansasKansas StateLMU MarylandPrincetonSaint Marys San Diego Kansas 'needs' Oregon to win tonight - they actually have a legit path with an Oregon win.

Oh my. Wisconsin beating Penn State was potentially a 'critical' blow to Oregon. Oregon wins and they will finish #19 behind Baylor (17) and Florida (18). Of course Washington beating Washington State would have also been sufficient for #17 RPI. Does UVU/NMSU change things?

Utah Valley upsetting New Mexico State would move Oregon up two spots to #17.

Utah Valley upsetting New Mexico State would move Oregon up two spots to #17. If nothing else demonstrates how we shouldn't be using straight RPI as gospel....

I'm betting the seeds are
1. Stanford 2. MN 3. TX 4. IL 5. BYU
I'm not saying that's "correct" or it's not correct, just that's what I think the committee will do.

UVU had all the momentum but couldn’t close out a tight 2nd set and now looks like they are about to go down 2-1.

It will be a travesty when Pittsburgh, who would have 10 losses in the Big10, would be seeded above a top Big team. They'll be Missouri all over again.

What is the status of the Oregon match right now? Sidearm doesn't work for matches played in Oregon?

Here is my guess:
1. Stanford 2. Minnesota 3. Illinois 4. BYU 5. Texas 6. Wisconsin 7. USC 8. Kentucky 9. Nebraska 10. Pittsburgh 11. Penn State 12. Washington State 13. Creighton 14. Oregon 15. UCF 16. Baylor
UCF I think is a seed. Oregon, Baylor, Marquette, Northern Iowa and Florida are in the running for the other 2 seeds. I think Northern Iowa and Florida are unlikely.

I just can't be on the "USC a top 10 seed" boat.

Illinois goes from having the easy regional with Texas to having Oregon, then the winner of PSU Wisconsin. Ugh
