Hawaii hasn't played like a top 10 team so far this season.
If they roll through the WAC conference season they will most likely return to the top 10 though just by going undefeated in conference.
They can't afford any stumbles in thouse matches though, and with Cal's performance against UW I'd probably move them above the Wahine at this point.

Florida will be a final four team this year. They will be very tough in the NCAAs. I am sticking to my guns on this. Out of curiosity, knowing the pre-set regionals, where would you place them and who do they beat in the Regional Semis to get to the Final Four? I've said from the get go, if Florida isn't in the same regional as Washington or Nebraska, then I like their chances to get to the final 4. Yes, I know PSU is very good and tough at home and Stanford is very good(those are the 4 teams I think will end up as top seeds), but I'd like Florida's chances against those teams versus the other 2.

I guess at least as many people that care about yours BiK.
I notice didn't bother to refute anything I said though.

Hawaii hasn't played like a top 10 team so far this season. Sorry, Gorf, all joking aside. This just is not true. If you were to say they didn't play like a top ten match for the duration of a match, then, it's true. In fact... they have played as good or better than Washington or Nebraska at various stages this season (unfortunately, see earlier, that it was not sustained). Hawaii, truly is, a Final Four contender, and the problems they were having are being ironed out. Nope. They cannot. Fortunately, they do not. See WAC current win-streak.

I have enough confidence in Hawaii to make the Final Four that I don't have to make such loser excuses. It's not an excuse. Unlike you and most of Hawaii, I'm not delusional. I can see reality and reality tells me that FLorida is not good enough to beat Washington or Nebraska, not right now anyways. If you think Hawaii is a final 4 team and they can go through anyone to get there, then you are even more delusional than I ever imagined. You should see someone about that, cause when Hawaii falls short again, you're gonna be in for a rude awakening. But I'm sure you'll come up with some elaborate excuse. Who will be sick this time? What travel problems will happen? How badly will the committee screw up again? I look forward to hearing the excuses.

Apparent;y sustaining good play is important in winning matches against top level teams IB, someting the Wahine haven't done yet this year.
Losing to LMU only a few matches ago doesn't show that they've ironed out their problems, especially when they're not in conference matches against teams that are predominantly weaker than the Wahine and "shouldn't" give them a serious challenge.
They probably won't have a chance to proove themselves against top level teams again until the NCAA tournament and even then potentuallly not until the regional level matches.
They have the talent on the team to play at a high level, but they certainly haven't been showing that they're going to do that at an anywhere near a consistant basis thus far.

Florida may end up with only one loss. Looking at their remaining schedules, I don't see anybody that can beat them.
If Stanford loses to Washington again, and Penn State stumbles somewhere (maybe Minnesota), do you think they would end up at the #3 ranking? That does not mean that they will be seeded high in the NCAAs, though.

Gator, You're trying to pick a fight with people who see you as insignificant. Not our problem, get over it.

BiK, that's an amusing comment since you keep starting arguments aimed at Gator.
