Penn State moves above Kentucky. Do they also move above Nebraska. Maybe not considering the level of competition the two teams played the first weekend.

Not that this matters because the AVCA poll doesn't matter although the poll is good for entertainment purposes.

Actually, I was thinking about that earlier.

Based on who-played-who, I'd rank them:

1) Texas (tough first weekend)

2) Stanford

3) USC

4) Minnesota

5) Florida

6) Nebraska

7) Wisconsin

8) BYU

9) Penn State

10) Illinois

Here's a spreadsheet that Recleague from VT posted:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w-hTZtkX-gKwcaLYNZxokP1wvi7P8xtMUGFLQhUhLFI/edit#gid=1672336234

It shows the results from matches of the Top 25.

I wonder if Coach Rose will move them into the Top 10?

After watching Nebraska and Wisconsin play, I think Penn State is better than both those teams. Time will tell.

Was Sun playing when you watched Nebraska (I honestly don't know if she's played this season).

Thanks. I saw a bit of a Wisconsin match, and wasn't impressed. But I could have picked several sections of Penn State's weekend and said the same thing. I do hope you're correct, however -- not just now, but for the end of the season

Nebraska played Ohio today. Lexi wasn't in the stat sheet so I guess she still is out with injury.

Tough luck for her. Hope she is OK (though admittedly, I hope she has horrible performances against Penn State, but not due to injury

)
