South Carolina admin definitely cares, IMO, given the amount of money they've put into the beach program - although they've had this weird "no travel West of the Mississippi" thing going on for years. Moritz is a nice guy who wins just enough to stick around, but that program should be better than it is, all things considered. I posted when they hired him, and I've posted at least twice since then...about hiring an indoor person for the beach job. I KIND OF understood it at the beginning, when there were not a plethora of good beach coaches yet, they understood all things NCAA, outside of the game. But we are WAY past that initial era now. SC should be much better than they are, and it's solely because of coaching.

Looks like LMU and Stetson will both drop a bit this week, but no major movers. Upsets of the week: ASU over Stanford, LBSU over LMU and to a lesser degree Stanford over UCLA. Seems like everyone is falling into the appropriate spots. East Meets West should be a battle.

Not surprising that Cal beat FSU, but what is surprising is the manner in which they did it. Lots of 2-0 sweeps that were not close. FSU is far too talented to lose that badly.

How so? There is so much parity now that all the top 10 teams are really strong so I don't expect any team to go undefeated. FSU definitely was the favorite coming into that match but Cal is and has been close to being a top 5 team the past 2 years.

Tessa Van Winkle and Jaden seem to be the weakest pair for UCLA. We may see them moved down to the 5s. Myskowski and Alden are playing well at the 5s

FSU was pretty disappointing this weekend. They have so much talent and they talked a big game on the Viral Volley Podcast about how good their team is. They got handled by UCLA and Cal and barely beat an LMU team that has been in free fall lately.
