How the Top 20 fared: Friday, October 7, 2011

Not a single Top 20 upset tonight ... the only teams that lost were defeated by higher-rated teams.

Worth noting that it took Penn State five sets to beat Northwestern, and Minnesota five to beat Michigan.

In the Pac-12, Stanford struggled to defeat Oregon State 3-1. Utah picked up just its second Pac-12 win by beating WSU 3-1 (22-25, 25-15, 25-23, 25-16) in Pullman.
