Got bored and made this. If you see any errors or know some Senior Ace rankings that aren't listed, just let me know and I'll update. Credit to Diggin' Water for doing the Big West thread, which is the layout I copied.

Nice thread!

Question for voters putting Wisconsin first: the last two years, it has been the lack of a consistent left-side attack that has kept Wisconsin from winning the B1G and beating the best teams in the country in the tourney. I think that's the pretty obvious missing piece. Do posters think that they will remedy that issue this year with the same left-side attackers, or do posters think that the teams ahead of them (Nebraska, Illinois, Minny) will have noticeable drop-offs since they all lose at least 1 First-Team AA?

Thanks!

I think it will be a combination of both. I expect the top teams to drop off and I feel like Molly Haggerty is looking really solid in the off season and could be the missing piece for them. They toyed with Duello at the OH sometimes last season and I think she's more effective there than Loberg, so maybe we'll see some of that.

I voted Minnesota. I think they've got the best talent surrounding their setter, but their setter won't be SSS, which keeps them within reach. My reasoning is mostly that, I believe, of the contenders they have the softest league schedule, along with Nebraska. But, I like Minnesota's current roster better than Nebraska's. Mostly because I know what I am getting from them. Nebraska would need contributions from a freshman, and a sizable leap from Sun. Minnesota's front-row contributors all were part of the B1G championship last year, so I know what they are.
