Just don’t bracket it so that the semifinals are Pitt-Louisville and Nebraska- Wisconsin. It will most likely be Pitt/Louisville and Nebraska/Penn State as potential semi's if those are the top 4 national seeds. |

Nebraska and Pitt are locks, they are by far the two best teams Louisville and Penn State are the next tier. They are really good but can get beat with a bad matchup Wisconsin, Creighton, Stanford, SMU, and Texas will all depend on their path. If I were a coach I would not want to see SMU or Texas in my Region. Kentucky is improving but they are a huge long shot based on their body of work I don't see anyone outside of that list getting to the final four No such things as locks. Remember SMU? |

That would be revolutionary lol Well, Wisconsin and Louisville would certainly like such bracketing. . . I’m not sure Pittsburgh would cheer being bracketed to play Nebraska for a third time in a national semifinal in four years. . . and I’m not sure there is justification for creating a bracket with the intention of having the two best teams during the regular season play before the final. Why don’t we just put the 32 best P4 teams on one side of the bracket and 32 non P4 teams on the other side. That way we could have farcical final fours every year. . . 😏 Sounds like a bad plan… |

I’m surprised so many think PSU is a guarantee. I’ve watched many games lately where they’re barely slipping by, and any team that relies so heavily on one player doesn’t usually fare well come crunch time against defenses that will shut down Mruzik.
They’re gonna need right side and middle firepower and that inconsistency is what concerns me with them.

They have 11 votes out of 119 voters, lol, and I don't see anyone saying they're a guarantee. |

Starck will almost certainly be NFOY (and deservedly so) but the tournament is just a different beast |

Just picturing a Pitt/Louisville final. 5 sets, one team about to reverse sweep, going extra points, stare downs….. I would sell my house to see it.
