Thoughts on tomorrow's poll?
Biggest move?
Biggest drop?
Who's gone?
Who jumps in?

I'll take a stab at a couple of obvious moves.
New Mexico State U moves into the top 25. Playing NU was a "good loss". I like their middles and OH Yon.
Duke drops from #11, not because of losing to NU, but losing to Louisville.

I'd say Duke drops to around 20. I'd expect a somewhat severe drop after a loss for a team without many backers. It's wrong. This team is top 15, but we'll take what a loss deserves.
I'd also think Purdue would have to jump back in there after a 3-0 weekend. We all know they're a top 25 team.
Minnesota drops towards the end of the poll.
I don't see NMSU moving in.

I think Michigan moves very close or perhaps even into the top 10.
Hawai'i moves up a couple of spots.
Not that it any of this matters to me.

i would say hawaii moves up a spot of two.
but not that concerned about where they are because they are still getting it together so i am less concerned to what a poll has to show. but i hope they move up.
maybe wichita state makes an appearance. who knows.

I agree, there are probably a lot of people out there that shouldn't be worried about where they fall in the polls right now. A few early stumbles are usually a good thing for a team in the long run. Of course they will be penalized in the polls, but lucky for us, we have a real tournament system, not one that is based on the polls.
If I were to guess though, I'd say the Wahine do move up a couple.
The Dukees drop 5-10.
I see the Boilers sneaking back in there.
I see Michigan around 10, probably not inside there, though.

Middle Tennessee lost to Missouri St!! There goes their perfect season, and they might possibly move out.

Wait a minute, Missouri State picked a few votes a couple of polls ago. They cannot be that bad! Besides, MTSU has some quality wins (against Creighton, Iowa State, Oklahoma).

I don' t think Minnesota should drop that much. Maybe to 15.

CAL is ranked 15th. I don't think Minnesota will fall too many spots, perhaps to 16.

Middle Tennessee's starting setter missed the match with a concussion suffered Sat evening. The true redshirt frreshman (red shirt no longer) set for the team. Still played Missouri State tough, but the chemistry wasn't there with the middles. Made a difference for sure...

If you took teams 8-20 and held a tournament, anything could happen.

If you took teams 8-20 and held a tournament, anything could happen. I think the same would be true if you took teams 1 through 25, no matter how dominant a team appears to be on paper. I was at the SSC in 1995 when the top ranked and undefeated Rainbow Wahine Blew Michigan State away in the first two games of the regional final only to lose in 5. In 1999 an overwhelmingly favorite Hawai'i team lost at home in the regional semis to Texas A&M, who played the match of their lives. Nothing is guaranteed in sports. |
