So much for your prediction and Hawai'i going to Texas. what a stupid ass comment lmfao. Hawaii fans never let us down Stop generalizing all Hawaii fans and address your comment to HawaiiVB fan. Hawaii would have either gone to Texas or Stanford. I think most Hawaii fans would take either destination (no disrespect to Texas and Stanford- we know how good both programs are). Texas for the experience and storylines and Stanford for the travel. |

PAC always gets hosed -- and then B1G fans tout how well B1G teams did when PAC teams have such harder paths Right, Are people only noticing now that West Coast Subregions often don't have a cupcake in them? Arguably the problem is somewhat made worse by the Top 32 thing. Stanford's draw isn't horrible as a whole, but they have an unfortunate 1st round match up. |

Call me whatever you want. I don't care what you think. I said it, and I meant it. Too bad so sad. The filler team went to the closest region as I had thought. I like our chances against LSU. |

I didn’t call you anything. You got upset at trojan for his projection putting Hawaii in the Texas subregional as if it was a reach, it wasn’t. Hawaii would have either gone to Texas and Stanford, they went to Stanford. My comment was in response to madden lumping all have fans together when not all of us disagreed with trojan’s projection. |

I know c4ndlelight hated my bracket, but per usual, the committee comes through. Stanford, a top 4 seed draws a WCC at large Oregon draws a WCC at large UCLA left out for Ball State and the most dangerous PAC team imo gets sent to San Diego. They never disappoint! Really? I think Oregon is far more dangerous than Washington St. |

Curious to know if committee evaluated final conference standings. Does Minnesota really jump Nebraska because of their win last night? I’m struggling to see how their entire body of work isn’t evaluated, and the glaring fact they finished behind Nebraska in the standings. Same with OSU. I get their schedule was #1, but they finished the season 0-4, dropping games to Indiana and Maryland. Nebraska split with them, finished 2nd in the B1G, and split matches with them. Nebraska could be 9th. But I don’t see why outrage is expected if Nebraska is at the 7 spot. There’s definitely reasoning. Homer reasoning. MN RPI = 8, SOS = 2, H2H = 1-0, T25 Wins = #4 Wisconsin, #7 @ohio St, #9 @nebraska, #11 Florida, #13 Oregon, #16(N) Baylor. Last 10 games 8-2 NB RPI = 9, SOS = 13, H2H = 0-1, T25 Wins = #7 Ohio St, #10 @ Kentucky, #12(N) Creighton, #19 Penn St. Last 10 games 6-4 it was actually just a question given I don’t have the knowledge on what the committee does. You failed to include the losses with your info. And it appears what I had discussed was exactly what happened… |

no where did you discuss conference standings, which was my original point, or the entire body of work, which was my other point. I also did not say a case couldn’t be made for 9th. Just puzzled at the assumed outrage if they’re 7th. meh. One game ahead in conference standings when the head to head was a road sweep. That shouldn’t matter much. …yikes. |

These shenanigans really make me sad for 2021 Syracuse and 2019 Cal. It’s just criminal to see at larges continue to go to teams that don’t schedule non-conference well (or don’t win at all) or to mid-major teams that have one top 50 win (in the 40s range) over a conference foe (VCU and Ball State)

Y'know, there ought to be a name for the NCAA women's volleyball tournament like "March Madness" is the label for the men's basketball tournament. Has there ever been an attempt to come up with such a name? December Dance Ding Ding Ding Ding! |

2019 PAC team gets screwed for a mid-major that did nothing to earn an at large
Committee chair: We like that VCU had no losses under 100
2022:
Ball State - 3 losses under 100
UCLA has no losses under 100
Committee chair:
