Just wondering how the first semester went for some of the club teams out there? And who is going to be good next semester? Any tournament results yet?

From out West here in the NCCVL:
-UC Santa Cruz is now in our league, due to the fact the closest D3 school to them apparently is in Iowa or somewhere, and their level of competition is in the NCCVL, not the MPSF
-Colorado got 2nd at the November chill tourney at UC Berkeley, losing the one of Stanford's teams (I hear they only graduated 1 guy)
-Davis got third
-Big surprise: Sacramento State beat UC Santa Cruz at November chill?
-Two more preseason tourneys, one being today @ Davis, and then the break, then the season starts
-I think our league is going to be strong again

From the midwest...
I've only been to a couple of tournaments so far, but some interesting things...
-- MATC doesn't appear to be making much noise...not sure if they're fielding a team or not Found a couple of articles from just after the controversy finally arose officially, but mostly people shaking their heads saying...i told you so.
--Dayton has beaten all the traditional top midwest teams. They're probably undefeated...gonna check on that.
--Illinois is doing their usual...half the team plays the first game, the other half play the second team. Looks like a REALLY young team but, as always, more physical and experienced (from high school and club) than everyone. Once they figure out who their starters are they're gonna be pretty damn good.
--Cincinati (I never spell that right) and Miami (OH) are better than expected...a bunch of historical DII teams playing really well with some big guys.
--Marquette looks like a taller team than last year...kind of hard to believe, but true.
As I said, only been to a few tournaments, but looks like the top teams are: Dayton, Illinois, Indiana, Marquette then a pretty big drop off for now...haven't seen Michigan yet and nada on MATC.

Santa Clara is always a national contender. They got 3rd or 5th last year and I think they didnt graduate anybody. Havent seen them in person though.

NIRSA preseason polls are out.  nirsa.net/sc/vb/2005/rankings_1_7.htm#M1Division 1 Men 1) Dayton 2) UC-San Diego 3) Illinois 4) UC-Davis 5) Colorado 6) Arizona 7) Penn State 8) Cal Poly SLO 9) Marquette 10) Indiana 11) California 12) N. Illinois 13) Wisconsin-Oshkosh 14) Utah 15) Maryland 16) Wisconsin-Madison 17) Fresno State 18) Utah Valley State 19) Rutgers 20) Lakeland College (WI) 21) Illinois State 22) Cincinnati 23) Miami University (OH) 24) James Madison 25) San Diego State Honorable Mention) Delware, Wisconsin-Whitewater, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Purdue, Minnesota, Central Florida, Texas A&M, Army, Ball State, Buffalo, W. Illinois, Ohio State, Pittsburgh. Looks like the people on volleytalk from NIRSA aren't gonna be too happy...but when has a preseason poll meant anything except padded egos? Shouldn't Arizona just be ranked #1 every preseason until they prove differently now that MATC (or any other junior college) isn't allowed in Division 1 or 2? |

UCSD lost their big gun Luke Honnette. He's playing on the NCAA team now. I wonder how they'll do without him. I'll guess we'll see when they come up for Far Westerns @ UC Davis.
