1) Rankings will be updated on Monday. Done.
2) I'm still going with the Gopher lineup as it's been... not because it'll be right, but because I have no idea what it will be.
3) Oregon's lineup looks more stable.

I honestly do not feel that Oregon can be rated too firmly from their OOC results, even being 6-0. USD has proven to not be what they were a year back; the only other team of note they've beaten has been Hawai'i, a non-P5 school which has had early season difficulties. The quackers will meet Pitt on 09/14. That match in Pittsburgh (and perhaps the OSU contest at Stanford) will definitely show their stature. Just went to a trusted, standby source...RealTimeRPI.com...but they must not have enough data yet. |

I’m so excited about this match! I agree Oregon hasn’t really been tested yet, but I think they still have the edge on Minnesota, after the way the Gophers have been playing. OR can put up a big block in front of Wucherer and Landfair, their tip coverage is good, and I anticipate Ulmer will aim their serves towards their OHs a lot of the match.

Minnesota hasn't looked too impressive. They are capable, but if Oregon maintains the level they have had, Oregon should win.

I think whoever has better ball control will win this match.

Bumping this up because it is only 7-8 hours away. THIS will be interesting; can Keegan and Company right the ship?

Phew! Had a bit of frustration when I looked in the schedule to make sure the match was getting recorded. The main Pac-12 channel was playing a repeat of OR vs OR-State at 4:30 instead of playing the live Gophers/Oregon one! 4:30pm PT != 4:30pm in Minnesota!  |

So Oregon had a 6 hour flight delay yesterday, got in late. Bummer, between the delay, flight and getting rentals, they probably could have driven there.

I thought 4:30 Pacific Time. Ugh. I’m going to still be at work! 🥺 ETA. Never mind. I just checked and my PAC 12 says 4:30 PT, so hopefully it is on then! |

But I neglected to add those two hours when I looked on the TV schedule to make sure it was going to be recorded, and got frustrated because the match wasn’t playing at 4:30 CT on the main Pac12 channel. Don’t worry… it IS playing at 6:30 CT, just like it should be! |

Looks like there's no way for me to see this one. The Pac-12 network isn't in my TV package. I know you are all going to be disappointed to miss out on my non-game related observations.
