I think salt/pepper is right one-- if Cinncinati makes it in then something is flawed

Just a few differences from SNP's above - I think I choose Colorado, Irvine, and Ball St instead of Kansas, Pitt, and WMU, though it's awfully hard to predict what the committee will have in mind for those last few slots.
Atlantic Coast - Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Duke Big 12 - Texas, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas A&M, Colorado Big Ten - Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, Michigan Big West - Long Beach State, Pacific, UC-Irvine Mid-America - Ball State Missouri Valley - SMS Mountain West - Utah Pac-10 - Stanford, USC, UCLA, California, Arizona Southeastern - Florida, Georgia, Alabama West Coast - St Marys, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara Western Athletic - Rice, Nevada

Cincinnati, dammit. One N, then 2 Ns.
And they don't have a chance.
Neither does UNI.

I dunno about EWU. OTOH, they scheduled tough. OTOH, they lost them all.

UC Irvine: What "The Committtee" is going to see over their last to matches is: 5-5 over their last 10 matches with a loss to #136 and 5 game wins vs. #'s 76,96, and 175. I think that is going to pop their bubble and leave the Big West with just UCSB, the beachless, and Pacific. If Irvine makes the right sacrifice to the Volleyball Gods, then the Big West get's in four. That is the max.

Miami makes it, hosts, and UCSB gets sent there. ;D Miami has been extremely average this year. I'd be shocked if they made it.

OK, so I said Colorado's out but after looking at the list of finalists for the AtLarge... they all seemed to lose to Colorado.
Last 4 were hard and last 1 was a toss up.
SEC and ACC screwed up everything: teams finishing higher in conf but losing head-to-heads or losing some BAD matches...
Don't envy committee.
Atlantic Coast - Georgia Tech, Duke, (Just missed:(Miami, UNC) Big 12 - Texas, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas A&M, Kansas, Colorado Big East - Pitt (Just barely) Big Sky - none Big Ten - Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, Michigan Big West - Long Beach State, Pacific, UC Irvine, CSUN Conference USA - Cincinnati Mid-America - none Missouri Valley - Nothern Iowa Mountain West - Utah Pac-10 - Stanford, USC, UCLA, California, Arizona Southeastern - Florida, Georgia, (Just missed: Arkansas) West Coast - St Marys, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara Western Athletic - Rice, Nevada
33-auto 33 31-@large locks 21
11 below: Kansas Nevada Purdue UOP UCI Cinci NIowa CSUN Duke Georgia Colorado
Last one from: Pitt Arkansas Miami UNC
Pitt gets nod as another BigEast rep.
Considered but.... no.

UNI and Cincinnati are not going. Marquette and SMS would go ahead of them.
