For once I will agree with past postings...I believe that Loyola and SB should be flip-flopped. Mason being ahead of of that school from Columbus is kinda of a surprise but not BSU. But all in all this poll is pretty accurate to what I thought it would be by this time.

Why do they even bother with rankings at this point?

.... other than people angrily pointing out that two out of the #8, #10, #11, #13, #14, and #15 ranked teams will make the Final Four.

(maybe that's reason enough)

As stated before rankings are used to market your program. It helps with recruiting when you're not a MPSF team and student athelets are looking for good programs looking to get better and a school who sponsors men's volleyball at the varsity NCAA level.
