My cougars might have lost this afternoon but I'm confident that we can bounce back against a tough hunter team. This should be one of the better setting matchups tonight as Capp and Helford are 2 of the best in the country. Unfortunately, we won't get the libero matchup of years past but rumor has it Joe Muir is the manager for the team (will this guy ever graduate) so I expect the team to be solid defensively as well. Hunters coach is younger than some of the players so it'll be interesting to see how he manages the match. Any idea of what Muir will be doing with his hair as team manager? My expectations are sky high Hopefully the flow will stay

LBC has averaged a .360 hitting percentage in their past four games, three of them coming against ranked(or previously ranked) opponents, with all of them being decisive sweeps. Where will LBC likely be put for the rankings in this upcoming poll? All of your wins have come against overranked teams and you got swept by Lakeland. Settle down young charger! Yeah I think LBC is trash and overrated this year. I don’t think Miller will get votes for all American this year.

I don’t think Miller will get votes for all American this year. Hot take, not sure if this is a troll attempt but I will take the bait. Once they regained their best player, LBC has not dropped a set. Three of those matches are against currently ranked or previously ranked teams. Whether you agree with rankings or not, the teams they have swept are respectable squads at the very least. Would be surprised to not see LBC crack the top 15, probably closer to 10 than 15.

1. Springfield- Until someone in D3 beats them 2. Stevens- More impressive resume at this point, but not the biggest dog in the yard 3. Carthage- excited to see them take on Cal Lu 4. New Paltz- Idle week; Idle ranking 5. Stevenson- battle tested with win over NCC looking better than ever 6. North Central- although they lost to Stevens; have tested themeselves more than Dominican to this point 7. Dominican- need to see them against top level competition 8. Endicott- Big jump, but I was impressed with their on court product against unfavorable results 9. Kean- rough weekend- need to capitalize on their tougher scheduling from last year 10. Cal Lutheran- loss to UCSC is big blow; but overall have better resume to this point 11. Southern Virginia- ho hum week- product of those around them moving more 12. Benedictine- *See southern virgina* 13. MSOE- Want to see results against D3 opponents 14. Lancaster Bible- result over Arcadia was good- esp. with others producing in lieu of Miller 15. UCSC- win over Cal Lu puts them back on the block
Others receiving consideration: Vassar, Arcadia, Elms, SJC

1. Springfield- Until someone in D3 beats them 2. Stevens- More impressive resume at this point, but not the biggest dog in the yard 3. Carthage- excited to see them take on Cal Lu 4. New Paltz- Idle week; Idle ranking 5. Stevenson- battle tested with win over NCC looking better than ever 6. North Central- although they lost to Stevens; have tested themeselves more than Dominican to this point 7. Dominican- need to see them against top level competition 8. Endicott- Big jump, but I was impressed with their on court product against unfavorable results 9. Kean- rough weekend- need to capitalize on their tougher scheduling from last year 10. Cal Lutheran- loss to UCSC is big blow; but overall have better resume to this point 11. Southern Virginia- ho hum week- product of those around them moving more 12. Benedictine- *See southern virgina* 13. MSOE- Want to see results against D3 opponents 14. Lancaster Bible- result over Arcadia was good- esp. with others producing in lieu of Miller 15. UCSC- win over Cal Lu puts them back on the block Others receiving consideration: Vassar, Arcadia, Elms, SJC Here’s my attempt 1 Springfield - no comment 2 Stevens - impressive sweep of North Central, takes on Stevenson and Kean this weekend 3 Carthage - need to see more before they move up 4 New Paltz - impressive resume so far, big matchup coming up in February against Kean 5 Stevenson - some big time road/neutral site wins so far, huge matches this weekend against Stevens and Southern Virginia 6 Dominican - big matches this weekend against Cal Lu and North Central 7 North Central - decent weekend with a sweep of Kean but losing to Stevens, big match against Benedictine Wednesday 8 Endicott - impressive weekend at Kean, even with the losses to Stevenson and Stevens 9 Southern Virginia - big match coming up this weekend against Stevenson, so far they’re the best team in the CVC 10 Kean - poor showing at home tournament, can make up for it with home game Friday against Stevens 11 Benedictine - best Quincy, huge match against North Central 12 MSOE - no alarming matches until Santa Cruz on February 9th 13 Santa Cruz - moves back in after 5 set win at Cal Lu 14 Cal Lutheran - loses in 5 at home to Santa Cruz, 15 Rivier - this is definitely a questionable choice but they’ve gone to 4 with Stevens and Stevenson and 5 with Kean

UCSC- win over Cal Lu puts them back on the block Others receiving consideration: Vassar, Arcadia, Elms, SJC I believe you are one of the poll voters now, because these are absolutely horse s'h'i't. As someone who has always looked at strength of schedule and analyzation of performance, these rankings are as upsetting as the smile in your photo. You place a team, that just got stabbed and spit on in 3 by NCC, in the top 10. Not just that, but you then decide to place an unproven SVU team at 11 above not just Benedictine (Defeat Quincy in 4) but MSOE who took UCSC to 5 and prevailed. That being mentioned, having Cal Lutheran at 10 after giving an embarrassing performance in the 5th set against UCSB. You mention they have a solid resume......a 4 setter against NCC? Considerable. What is outside of that...……...a sweep of Marian...……..Illinois Tech...………..Arcadia? ? Continue proving that the AVCA continues to sham on actual talented teams. Stevenson can be considered the 4th seed, just the way they can take a beating in early sets, and come back as nothing happened. Where as New Paltz loses to a subpar NAIA team. I will give you credit with the Endicott ranking. Having them so high purely based off "court presence" Their "presence" was not enough for 2/3 ranked matchups. Let alone Kean being highly ranked for no legitimate reason (not surprised now after reading this 'hot take'). See you next week )))

Instead of ripping on each other can't we just go back to the way things were and rip on Kean?
