New year! Texas and Oklahoma are out. Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and Arizona State are in. Rankings prediction this year? When bluepenquin is ready, a run down on the teams is always appreciated!

I am looking forward to doing this again this year.  My plan is to do this in late July or Early August.

BIG12 is going to be a lot of fun this year!!

Will be strange not watching TX and OK play. TX will be great wherever they play but OK will be interesting to see how they do vs the SEC teams this year.
Teams I’m most interested in watching will of course be the new ones plus WVU, K State and ISU.

I’m definitely excited for the Big 12. I think with new additions over the past couple of years have made the conference much more competitive. Minus Arizona (audible sigh) Colorado, Utah and ASU have had recent tournament success. Can’t wait to go head to head with you guys! Bear down.

Does anyone dare take a stab at the preseason rankings?

The top six could perhaps be gleamed from the thread poll, but it doesn't parse out the 8 with 0 votes very well.

In no particular order I’d expect the top 5 to be
Baylor, BYU, ASU, Kansas, TCU.

BYU lost 2 spring matches to Utah. They lost Livingston and accoording to their team thread A Bower hasn’t lived up to expectations.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up more in the middle of the pack

am I a hater for being a lot lower on ASU than most? who’s gonna kill the ball for them?

leave Cyr and Jeter alone!

[hanmertime]

BYU has a huge home court advantage.
Elevation will sink the southern teams.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to see ASU so high with their graduation losses. I figured maybe they got some big transfers? I haven't really looked into it.

Spring matches don't matter at all. Losing Livingston is a big deal. We really have no idea about the new setter(s) until we see them play real matches. I honestly don't know how good they'll be, but the last time they had a really young team (2020), they exceeded expectations. We'll see.
