USA up to 5 in the rankings after beating Italy Russia isn't moving up or down since they're not playing anyone, and since they're blacklisted USA is effectively 4 in the rankings over Russia. cant afford to lose any points against Canada, and hopefully we can beat Brazil to leapfrog them at 3 potentially, though the gap is decent. would've been nice if Argentina had won yesterday. I think there’s a pretty good chance they just qualify through the OQT, but yes staying high in the rankings is important just in case I agree, but you never wanna take any chances so keeping an eye on the ranking is def key

Going 3-0,3-0,3-0....and can gain ground on FIVB rankings ...Speraw goes with stronger lineup today.
Thought it might be otherwise but big guns will be greenlighted

USA dropped down to 5th in the WR. Started the week/season at 6th.
That's wild.
Does anyone have a link where I can find out what each tournaments weight is?
I know OG's/WCH is the highest with the VNL right under it but now I think I need to double check after watching that interview.
Do all tournaments have some level of weight?

Definitely agree that the rankings need to be tweaked.
One possible change could be weighing preliminary round matches for tournaments less than the final rounds. Then there would be less pressure to play the top guys every game.

Just read an interview of Patch. He says he had his first volleyball panic attack in his first year with BYU. The coach cut his hair cause he was making so many serve errors and they had a deal of certain amount of errors he is allowed to have...But he passed the limit.

No wonder he struggled serving, even with the NT. I sure do miss him playing for Team USA but I am happy he has found his stride outside of the sport. Rooting for him 🥰

And is that coach the current BYU coach? That sounds awful!
