Maybe we should wait until these games, drawn from Volleytalk's Pick the Winners, are decided?
Sunday, November 22
19. Arizona v. UCLA 20. Florida State v. Duke 21. LSU v. Kentucky 22. Pittsburgh v. Syracuse 23. Texas A&M v. Florida 24. Temple v. SMU 25. Wisconsin v. Ohio State
Yes, definitely. Or better yet, we could wait till Monday. That would be cheating

And #14 Florida just lost 2-3 to #25 Texas A & M. The loss is Floridas fifth in conference.

Agreed with respect to the conference play weakness. However, TX A&M did defeat #3 Minnesota 3-2 ages ago on 8/29/15 and #13 Colorado State 3-2 on 9/15/15. They also defeated #19 Kentucky twice 3-1 and 3-0, and # 14 Florida 3-2 today. So they have showed they can upset better teams, at least they showed they're no slouch.

(I have my thoughts on them come tourney time that would NOT make Ruffda happy.) Kentucky, Colorado st. And Florida can certainly play good ball but are not teams that are built to win 6 in a row.

And Florida can certainly play good ball but are not teams that are built to win 6 in a row. Agreed on both counts. I don't see MN or FL winning 6 straight. Not sure I consider KY or CO St. contenders. Maybe sweet 16 or 8, at best.

Update: Just checked all the Pac12 scores, they update the sets won/lost live (whereas the NCAA website takes from forever to sometimes never - I had to get that jab in there, they've kept me stranded too many times) at this link: pac-12.com/scores/week?sport=womens-volleyball#1 USC just lost to #13 UCLA (22-6, 13-5)!! The odd thing is that USC hit .191% for the match vs .139% (what???) for UCLA; USC had 22 hitting errors and UCLA had 30. How does that happen? UCLA just provided everyone a blueprint for beating USC, in my opinion. Well that's gonna throw a wrench into the RPI and coaches polls. UCLA plays their final game at home vs Stanford on Friday. I wonder if there's another upset in the cards. Get it? Apologies, my puns are a little corny.

I wonder whether my family will mind me switching from the Broncos-Patriots to the ESPNU Selection Show? NFL Football has become so tedious.

No, actually I didn't intend it. I realized it was a pun only after I posted it. Anyway, I'm confident someone will record the Selection Show. If Psumaui isn't able, I can provide one.

What a crazy conference! A defeats B who defeats C who defeats D who defeats A and the merry-go-round keeps turning. Every team gets beat up all regular season long and by the tourney time you see 4 teams from the Big10 make it to the elite 8, that's where it really shows.

Here is a shocker: Cleveland State just took a set off of USC to tie match 1 set apiece.
