1. Vanguard
2. OUAZ

The conference /group ratings just came out. This will give us an idea of the preseason rankings that come out on Wednesday (at least the order that teams will be ranked in relation to other teams in their conferences). Based on these rankings, here is how I think the rankings will look (not how I think the SHOULD look or how they will look at the end of the season).

1. Vanguard (GSAC-1)
2. BenU Mesa (Cal Pac-1)
3. OUAZ (GSAC-2)
4. Park (Heart-1)
5. Grand View (Heart-2)
6. The Master's (GSAC-3)
7. William Penn (Heart-3)
8. St Xavier (CCAC-1)
9. Georgetown (Mid-South-1)
10. Menlo (GSAC-4)
11. Missouri Baptist (Heart-4)
12. Indiana Tech (WHAC-1)
13. Mount Mercy (Heart-5)
14. Jamestown (GPAC-1)
15. Missouri Valley (Heart-6)
16. Westcliff (CalPac-2)
17. Reinhardt (AAP-1)
18. Lourdes (WHAC-2)
19. Judson (CCAC-2)
20- Mount Vernon Nazarene (WHAC-3)

I agree.  I think they are factoring in the loss of Flexon a little to much.  They picked up three really good players in S-Patrick Paragas (UCSB), MH-Mason Mullins (Concordia-Irvine) and OH-Cole Oliver (Long Beach CC).  I expect them to be right in it at the end.

This weekend is going to tell us a lot about how the season is going to look.  Saint Xavier is hosting a tournament with the following matches.  I am hoping that Saint Xavier will be streaming the matches that they are not in.

Thursday, January 25
Lourdes vs Grand View (2:00pm CT)
William Penn vs OUAZ (4:00pm CT)
The Master vs Saint Xavier (7:00pm CT)
Jamestown vs Judson (7:00pm CT)

Indian Tech @ Georgetown (6:00pm CT)

Friday, January 26
Jamestown vs Lourdes (1:00pm CT)
The Masters vs Grand View (4:00pm CT)
OUAZ vs Saint Xavier (7:00pm CT)
William Penn vs Judson (7:00pm CT)

Saturday, January 27
The Masters vs Lourdes (10:00am CT)
William Penn vs Saint Xavier (10:00am CT)
Jamestown vs OUAZ (1:00pm CT)
Grand View vs Judson (4:00pm CT)

Thursday Predictions:

Grand View 3-1 Lourdes
OUAZ 3-1 William Penn
Masters 3-2 Saint Xavier
Jamestown 3-0 Judson
Georgetown 3-1 Indiana Tech

I think to the surprise of no one of this board (but most of those on the NCAA boards) Park is up 2-0.  25-20, 25-18.  I know it is just an exhibition and you never know what the various coaches are trying to get out of the scrimmage so you can't put too much stock in it, but I would expect the same results tomorrow night when Quincy and Missouri Valley play.

[photogirl]

Quincy wins the 3rd 20-25 and park wins 4th 25-19. Joao Friedrich looks even better than last year.

This is the line up that Park is going with.
Setter- Eduardo Sabi
OH1- Joao Friedrich
MH2- Carston Wellong
Opp- Joao Infante
OH2- Veljko Stojic
MH1- Milhailo Ivanovic
Libero-Joao Bonanoni
