Texas, which has only one defeat on the year and many victories over teams ranked in the top 10, is ranked first in the most recent top 10 by the selection committee. The Cardinals are ranked second; they slipped one spot in the AVCA poll following their defeat to Pittsburgh, but they go up to second place here as a result of Nebraska’s second loss. This past weekend, Wisconsin swept the Huskers, handing them their second loss of the year. The two losses that Louisville and Nebraska have come against top-10 opponents.
Due to their impressive five-set victory against Louisville since the last top 10 ranking, Pittsburgh is now ranked No. 4 in the list of the top 10. San Diego, which has only suffered one loss all season, fell two positions from the last top-10 revelation.
