Last week the NCAA opened the bid process for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 championships. The women's D3 volleyball specs state a preference for facilities with video boards which got me wondering... how many D3 teams have a video board in their everyday facilities?
Calvin, Carthage, Kean, NYU... Who else has a video board? Does CMS? Does Hope?

I could see them giving it to someone hosting with an associated facility, like Duquesne being the host last year, in order to meet the specifications.

Is it too soon to be using the ranking services to get a solid rating, sure. Did that stop me from creating some data anyway? Of course not! AVCA Top 25 poll with extended data QWI(Quality Win Index)- points for wins against Top 100 schools Projected NCAA Ranked Wins and Loses using QWI to do region rankings

Pretty busy Tuesday, 89 matches across D3. Big region 3 matchup, Ithaca at Cortland. While Susquehanna at NYU, sets up some region 4/5 compares. St. Norbert and Carthage both need a quality win to get some momentum. Platteville off to a good start looking for their 4th quality win, Dubuque looking for their first. Texas Dallas has started 0-4 against 4 top 100 opponents, and needs this one against an East Texas Baptist team with 2 good wins so far. Time zone?? Updated start time? Double check your matches of interest. Thank You richkern.com for the schedule data. Ithaca sweeps at arch rival Cortland

Top 100 matches Sept 13. Have to figure Cornell over Coe based on results so far. Bethel looking for their first win over a top 100 team. Ohio Wesleyan coming off a win over Calvin would like to keep rolling with a victory over struggling Otterbein. Conference play begins. Big Old Dominion match right out of the gate with Virginia Wesleyan v Randolph-Macon. North Park and North Central at 6-1 as they start CCIW play. Time zone?? Updated start time? Double check your matches of interest. Thank You richkern.com for the schedule data.

It was a light night in region 3, but Vassar cooling off heretofore 6-1 New Paltz was interesting to see. The Brewers have already tied their win total from last year (4).
Along the same lines, kudos to Russell Sage on already reaching 5 wins when they ended the 2022 campaign with only 4.

No top 100 matches this Thursday. Got to watch a bit last night. Springfield easily over Endicott in a region 2 battle between teams expecting to be regionally ranked. Picked up Ohio Wesleyan and Otterbein late in the 3rd. Good volleyball, Melissa Murray seemed to get a point ever time Wesleyan needed one. Otterbein looks straight out of central casting but just too many mistakes. Also got to Eau Claire v Bethel during 3rd set. It is just a higher quality of volleyball in the Midwest. Bethel looked good but at the end Eau Claire kicked it into another gear and zoom.

Must be Friday. So many matches so little time. 38 top 100 contests! Transylvania looking at a busy day. I am going to start the day with Chicago vs CMS at 1:00pm ET (first match of Cal Lu tourney) Tufts and Wesleyan(CT) look to stake a claim to the NESCAC regular season #1 seed early on. MIT steps into the light in Texas this weekend, we shall see. Johns Hopkins at Ithaca should be interesting. Millikin and Otterbein both in need of a good weekend. Time zone?? Updated start time? Double check your matches of interest. Thank You richkern.com for the schedule data.
