You going to submit your ballot this week? Lol I sent mine last week via smoke signal. You didn't get it? Even though I’m from the Dakotas, I don’t know how to interpret those |

Since this is for a separate thread, I'll leave it at this. There are sound reasons to put Texas above Pitt! There are also sound reasons to put Pitt above Texas. I'm choosing the latter, right now. You going to submit your ballot this week? Lol I’m dead |

After watching this match and teams were to maintain form my top 4 for the tourney would be: (1) Louisville (2) Wisconsin (3) Pitt (4) Texas
Or: (1) Louisville (2) Pitt (3) Texas (4) Wisconsin
Just depends on how harshly I consider that unranked loss Wisco had..

You're right! And I was being facetious. IMO, regardless of the outcome of this match, there's a noticeable gap between the top 4 teams in the country and everyone else. After watching Ohio-State/Wisconsin the gap between those two is a wafer thin sliver…so saying there is a gap between the top 4 and everyone else is laughably wrong. Sorry. We’ll see how it goes. 🏐✔️ I don’t think there’s that much of a gap outside the top 4, Louisville barely beat Kentucky, Texas almost lost to Kansas, wisco just went 5 with penn state, dropped a set to Ohio state and lost to Maryland. I think the top 10 is about as even as it could be. Even teams outside the top 10 have seriously challenged some of the top teams |

Even teams outside the top 10 have seriously challenged some of the top teams There are about 6 teams at least outside of the top four who on a given night could beat the top four. Heck, Notre Dame almost did. PSU wasn’t razor close to beating Wisconsin on their home floor? Nebraska has a wide margin between them and top 4? Nonsense. |

Anyone in the top 16 AVCA coaches poll could go on a run and make it to the final 4. Some have better chances than others and the margin of error between teams in the top 8 is very small.

Stanford, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, penn state, and Baylor are all teams outside the top 10 who could make serious runs in the ncaa tournament. The national championship is wide open as of right now and we might see two ACC teams hosting regionals after an SEC team won the whole thing last year, college volleyball makes way less sense now than it did a few years ago. |
