That is expressly untrue and a mistake in parsing the criteria if that is how the volleyball committee views and applies the results versus ranked opponents criterion. Not one other national committee I know of treats all ranked results equally. If volleyball does/did, then that is a travesty and rather embarrassing. I cannot speak for the national committee....what I am saying is the ranked results are a primary criterion for regional rankings, along with Win pct, weighted SOS, common opponent w/l, and head to head....when comparing two teams, 7-2 versus ranked teams will generally beat out say 3-5 versus ranked teams if all else is equal....this is why we have ranking committees and not just algorithms, to look into these close calls and dig into ranked wins when necessary Is there any evidence that the ranking committees do better than good algorithms? |

Well recriminations are more fun with a committee to blame...

Let's see. Juniata over MIT, Eau-Claire over Tufts, CMS over Berry, Trinity(TX) over Calvin. MIT and Tufts will both make them earn it. CMS has to be riding hide after the win at Wartburg. Trinity looked so good when I saw them live this season, have to take them.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't know who "highly touted" Emory, but it may have been overhype. There was good reason to think Berry was better before that match was played (Pablo had Berry favored). While Berry is a good team, and certainly anything can happen, CMS is still the favorite. But when you come to the national finals, no match should be taken as a sure thing. |

MIT needed some time to get into the match, which cost them any chance at set 1. Annie Bryan had a great run in set 3, and was great in general. MIT had moments but they had to work too hard for everything they got.
