kinda nervous about how this team will do in big10 rn they have a lot of things to work on..maybe thats cause I just watched the Ohio vs Texas game (it was insane). Nervous about Orrs back right defense and overall just how these players will respond to players that are much more physical. Ohio St & Texas were on a whole other level than the rest of the D1 first games. It is mind blowing how good they are playing out of the gate. Especially Texas. I don't know if you can compare anyone to them right now. It's still really early and Cook is great about getting his team ready for Dec (reference 2021). San Diego and Pitt was also extremely high level

The level of opponent also drives up the level of play. This is true. Many people expect teams to look better against lesser opponents because the opposition is inferior, but it's been my experience especially with Nebraska over the years that we play up to the competition.

Certainly did last year in the tournament.

Just watched the Tulsa match and Ally’s arm swing looks a million times better, her contact point is so much higher

Wouldn’t that last sentence be an argument for Texas? It suggests Texas is better now, Nebraska may be by December. A pre season poll is who is the best team starting out isn’t it?

It suggests Texas is better now, Nebraska may be by December. A pre season poll is who is the best team starting out isn’t it? It depends on the voter. It’s certainly reasonable to think of someone using the poll to predict the finish rather than the beginning. That said, Nebraska isn’t #1 because more people think they’re the best team. They’re #1 because there’s less variance among voters about where they rank. And the difference in votes between the two is pretty minuscule. Edit - and I’ve never thought it mattered what anyone thought among the top vote getters other than getting into the top 4 as determined by the committee. It’s just a fan ego thing after that. Which can be important to a lot of people, but I’m indifferent to it, and don’t completely sympathize with those who give it such importance, although it drives great discussion and so I don’t want to discourage it, either. Once a team makes it into the regionals every match is a losable match, but everyone would prefer to play at home than on the road. Even Nebraska.

Thank you jwvolley tedheise plm for y’all’s answers! Texas fan at heart but honestly just want every team to be playing at their best and let that be the factor who wins in December. Glad to see Hames held her ground in SR and I’m a big Allick fan so I’m glad it looks like she might’ve locked it down. She’s just so impressive. Middle is such an extremely tough position to be polished at as a freshman and everything I’ve seen from her so far as been wow-worthy. She may not be the only one this year though which is fun! Carter Booth had 11(!!!) blocks yesterday I think (1 stuff, 10 assists). It’d be awesome to see one of them take B1G freshman of the year.
