Does Pittsburg has their own thread? I just wanted to ask why Dalton is playing 6 rotation. she had been passing great on the year prior to Towson

my week 3 ballot ...
i like my placement of the top 7. then everything after that is clunky.
i dropped the LA schools this week (usc and ucla). usc looked great at times, but incredibly sloppy at other times against hawaii. and ucla has lost to 2 unranked teams now. i made room for penn st (who i had a lot of question marks for, and boy did we get some answers this week), and also rice (who has played so steady, and i wanted to reward that).
i dropped washington heavily. i was unsure of that, but i basically have them grouped with pepperdine/arkansas, which aligns with results. maybe that triad should be higher altogether? something i'm wondering ...
what made it particularly tough this week were teams getting a good or expected win, but then having a head-scratcher of a loss ... (i'm talking to you pittsburgh, washington, pepperdine, stanford ... lol).
Week 3
No. School 1 Texas 2 Nebraska 3 Louisville 4 San Diego 5 Ohio St 6 Georgia Tech 7 Wisconsin 8 Stanford 9 Minnesota 10 Kentucky 11 Creighton 12 Penn St 13 Pittsburgh 14 Oregon 15 BYU 16 Purdue 17 Western Kentucky 18 Washington St 19 Florida 20 Baylor 21 Marquette 22 Pepperdine 23 Washington 24 Arkansas 25 Rice

I give a lot of credit to pollsters that actually WATCH a lot of volleyball rather than just watching their own teams or looking at who won/loss. Last week I watched most of the Nebraska/Creighton match and I sat there thinking that there is no way that this Nebraska team was the #2 team in the country. Personally, I think the volleyball posters that still had Nebraska #2 fell victim to the typical objective laziness that persists in the AVCA poll - Nebraska didn't lose so therefore they shouldn't drop.

I don’t see Nebraska in the top 10… to lose in 4 at home to the 9th ranked team who had more errors that wins last season is not a great look for them.

I think a lot will depend on how the other in top ten do this week. If all win out then I’d see Stanford up to 5 or 6 and Nebraska one below that…

Stanford was already number 4 in my poll this week. The match against Louisville probably won’t change that much. They can only go up considering I had Louisville 2
