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 would guess Oregon and Baylor snag them. Baylor will be over Marquette due to head to head. |

I'm kinda curious as to why you put Texas over Wisconsin. They just beat Penn State tonight and play in a much tougher conference than the Longhorns as well as have more quality wins over Texas. That's just my insight. |

If only UNI had performed better at Evansville, they may have been in the running for one of those last seeds.
Oh well, such is life.

How can USC, with 10 losses including one to Utah this week deserve a seed higher than WI PSU or for that matter the hard to evaluate Pitt?
Doesn't resume and recent performance (btw it looks like they squeaked past UCLA) count?
If seeding seeks a formful regional semifinal and final does it really make sense that USC is a 2 seed. I don't understand.

Final RPI. I did find an error tonight. Kansas State and Hawaii played twice (added after the season started) and I didn't have the adjustment in opponents record. Didn't impact Hawaii's ranking, but it had a sizeable impact for K-State. So that is likely to be my mistake (not catching all the multiple matches OOC).

50. Kansas vs. 51 Kansas State. Kansas goes 2-3 against the T25 with wins against Texas and Baylor. Kansas State goes 1-4 with a win against Baylor. Kansas 3-5 against the T50 Kansas State 5-4 including a sweep of Kansas (and Hawaii). Who gets in if between these two?

Kansas 3-5 against the T50 Kansas State 5-4 including a sweep of Kansas (and Hawaii). Who gets in if between these two? Am I counting wrong? I'm seeing the RPI cutline way low - Princeton at 52 as last in via RPI. That can't be right? |

I get some odd pleasure in seeing Stony Brook listed ahead of Ohio State and Michigan State. Maybe the B1G should offer to replace Rutgers with Stony Brook?

It would appear likely that both Kansas schools (KU and KSU) will either be in or out as they will be hard to make a case for one without the other. I'm going to guess in but who knows.

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'm kinda curious as to why you put Texas over Wisconsin. They just beat Penn State tonight and play in a much tougher conference than the Longhorns as well as have more quality wins over Texas. That's just my insight. Probably because of the RPI disparity and Texas beat Baylor twice who gave Wisconsin a loss (probably softens the blow of the head to head loss by Texas to Wisconsin). |

Going just by RPI, With UCLA ineligible, I see the last four in: 47-Hawai'i; 49-Colorado; 50-Kansas; 51-Kansas State. Last four out: 52-Princeton; 53-San Diego; 55-James Madison; 57-LMU.

Wanted to mention Figstats (http://ncaastats.figstats.net/volleyball-rpi.cgi) has some (minor- a spot or two one way or the other) differences vs. Bluepenguin's calculation as I write this. (No idea if its actual calculation differences, or a match or two missing from either's calculations.)
For the Bubble zone (I'm going from 39 to 57), Figstats has:
RPI| Team | Conf|RpiPct|
39 Arizona PAC 0.5953
40 Denver SUMMT 0.5940
