I don't see why Purdue moved down. Getting beat by #6 Ohio State should not be a negative although I believe it was on Purdue's home court which might have made a difference. Hey, I don't get why PSU went down to 14 from 13. Almost beat OSU and then handily beat ILL. Course, expecting these polls to make sense is a fool's errand. Sort of like the stock market. Up and down for no particular reason.  |

This just goes to show that the coaches have no clue. Two weekends ago, PSU lost to OSU in 5, close match; beat ILL handily. This last weekend PSU lost to NEB with the last set being a disaster; PSU barely beat IO in 5. So what happens: the 10/10 poll sends PSU down 1 to 14; the 10/17 poll moves PSU back up to 13. Go figure; makes no sense whatsoever. Course, like we didn't know this.

However if I were to rank the teams today I wouldn't have it that much different.
Fortunately the NCAA selection committee pays no attention to the AVCA poll.

Explanation for this week: BYU loss to Pacific. BYU fell 5 spots, others moved up. Pretty simple this week IMO. And, of course, it's a crowd-sourced thing...64 (or less) votes for >25 teams. |

That makes perfect sense. But it does show that the voters look at won/loss records, not how a team won or lost. Cuz if anybody had looked at the PSU weekend, I could see PSU dropping 5 places. Granted, the voters don't have the time to look at things carefully. But not only that, IT DOESN'T MATTER. |

Sometimes you move up because you had a good week... Sometimes you move up because someone else had a worse week.  |

VT has an interesting thread -- Fall 2022 Bracketology -- volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/91401/fall-2022-bracketology-10-17?page=1 -- which currently has eight B1G teams making the 2022 NCAA Tournament. It places all 64 teams into brackets, and seeds 32 of them. If Penn State can go 7-5 (or better) the rest of the way (which would give them a 22-9 record (11-9 in the B1G) they'll be in very good shape. Even at 6-6 the rest of the way (21-10, 10-10 in the B1G), they're probably in the Tournament. Anything less than that, who knows. Here are the B1G teams, their hypothetical Regional brackets, and their seeds (all as of 10-17-2022): Austin Regional(6) Purdue (2) Wisconsin San Diego Regional(2) Ohio State Lincoln Regional(1) Nebraska Northwestern (7) Penn State Louisville Regional(3) Minnesota (7) Michigan |
