B1G Standings - 11/17/24 | Team | Conference | Overall | | Nebraska | 16-0 | 26-1 | | Penn State | 15-1 | 25-2 | | Wisconsin | 14-2 | 20-5 | | Purdue | 13-3 | 22-5 | | Oregon | 11-5 | 19-6 | | Minnesota | 10-6 | 17-9 | | USC | 10-6 | 18-8 | | Illinois | 9-7 | 17-9 | | Washington | 9-7 | 19-7 | | Michigan | 6-10 | 16-11 | | UCLA | 6-10 | 12-13 | | Indiana | 5-11 | 12-14 | | Ohio State | 5-11 | 12-14 | | Iowa | 4-12 | 10-18 | | Maryland | 4-12 | 13-14 | | Michigan State | 4-12 | 11-16 | | Northwestern | 3-13 | 5-18 | | Rutgers | 0-16 | 5-22 |
I wonder if Michigan or UCLA have a chance at an NCAA bid if they win out. Both schedules are doable with home matches against Oregon, and UCLA traveling to Illinois. Those two teams look to me like they should be closer to the top 9 instead of the bottom 7 like they are. UCLA has the best chance, but it still feels like a miracle. I just don't know if Michigan can do it without Jacobs. |

That loss triggered my PTSD from Michigan's very similar gift to the Trojans back in week 2 of conference play. I may never recover. |

Well, we’re two weeks out from the end of the regular season. With everything winding down, who would be everyone’s top three picks for each “Of the Year” award? I’d have the “finalists” as the following:
Coach: KSC, John Cook, Leslie Gabriel
Player: Sarah Franklin, Eva Hudson, Jess Mruzik
Setter: Bergen Reilly, Izzy Starck, Charlie Fuerbringer
Defensive: Lexi Rodriguez, Raven Colvin, Phoebe Awoleye
Freshman: Izzy Starck, Charlie Fuerbringer, Julia Hunt

Feels weird to no have a player of the year candidate from Nebraska with them being so dominant, but no one true star on that team, very balanced. For freshman, i think its either starck or Fuerbringer, probably Starck. don't think they'd ever consider a DS but Mauch has maybe been the best freshman in terms of quality of play this year, just obviously plays a smaller roles than the setters. |

Yeah, DSes tend to get ignored in the awards, but it’d be very cool if they had Mauch on the All-Freshman team. She’s more than deserving. |

With PSU/Purdue, PSU/Nebraska, Wisconsin/Nebraska, Wisconsin/Minnesota, Purdue/Oregon among the matches to be played, winding down is the wrong description. |

I agree on coaches and probably POY. I do think Julia Hanson warrants some consideration - she’s really put the Gophs on her back For DPOY, they seem to reallllly prefer choosing a libero over a middle, even if the middle has earned it. I think Lexi, Gary, and Hornung would be my three. But I hope Colvin gets it. Freshman, I think Starck gets it without much fanfare. After her, Fuerbringer and Philpot. I like Philpot’s game more than Hunt’s and Hunt hasn’t had a great showing in big games. SOY maybe has the most competition. Starck or Reilly are probably the most likely, with Tuaniga, Anderson, and Shaff having an outside chance. Not Haworth’s year, unfortunately. Izzy and Bergen have almost opposite strengths - Izzy’s location and offense are really strong and she’s great at getting the most she can out of her dominant hitters. Bergen spreads the offense around way more, seems a bit more deceptive based on the eye test, and is better defensively. I think she’s tried to be too crafty at times this year, and it’s hurt her pure setting. Interested to see what the committee prefers. Bergen has higher a/s, d/s, SA/s, and NE is hitting at a higher clip than PSU…by 0.01. Izzy has more b/s, seems more consistent location-wise. Bergen also has way better passers, and that’s a huge factor. I could see them splitting the difference and giving Starck FOY and Bergen SOY, but would not be surprised to see Starck take both. |

It also just seems like with Lexi being one of the marquee Liberos in the country for the last four years and the possibility of her breaking JWO’s dig record at Nebraska, it’s hers to lose. |

Those two teams look to me like they should be closer to the top 9 instead of the bottom 7 like they are. quit looking at records and look at RPI - UCLA at 61 is such a very very long shot - they would almost have to jump 20 spots - Michigan has no shot at 91 |
