If all the heavy favorites (19-23) win their matches, there will be perfect 25/25 scores this week!

Update: If Wisconsin prevails against Michigan, there will be three 25/25 scores for week 8.

[vbbetterthanbb]

Michigan does not want to be a note in PTW history!

Set 1: 25-21 over Wisconsin

Update: Wisconsin came back and won 3-1
