NCAA | How the Top 20 fared


How the Top 20 fared, September 17-23, 2012

Crazy numbers this week:
  • Number two beat number one and number four beat number three.
  • Number two would have become number one, except it lost to number seven.
  • Numbers ten, twelve, eighteen and twenty also lost

And you thought YOU worked hard:
  • Seattle University has played six five-set matches this season, including the last five in a row. The Redhawks are 3-3 in five-set matches in 2012.
  • #17 San Diego lost a set to San Francisco 33-35. The next night they won a set against Santa Clara 32-30.
  • #10 Louisville won its first two sets against Notre Dame 25-16, 25-16 … then went on to lose the fifth set 3-15. It was only Louisville’s second loss of the season.
  • #8 Hawai’i played its first road matches of the season—and its first matches in the Big West Conference. The Wahine Rainbow went 3-0 this week, but were pushed to five sets by both Cal State Northridge and Cal State Fullerton.
  • Five teams fell from the ranks of the unbeaten this week, including #2 USC (0-3 to #7 Oregon), #12 Kansas State (0-3 to Oklahoma), Michigan State (2-3 to #16 Purdue); South Carolina (1-3 to Auburn then 1-3 to #20 Tennessee) and Northwestern (1-3  to Wisconsin, then 1-3 to #11 Minnesota).
  • Only three undefeated teams remain (of 327 Division 1 schools): #5 Washington (11-0), #7 Oregon (11-0) and #14 BYU (14-0)
