NCAA | Washington volleyball remains high in national polls

Huskies remain #5 in coaches poll, #6 in media poll


After three season-openings, including a 5-set nailbiter, the Washington Huskies maintained their poll positions among both coaches and media.

In the AVCA coaches’ poll, former #1 Texas moved behind Washington after the Longhorns lost to #9 Hawai’i. Minnesota jumped ahead of the Huskies after four three-set sweeps against Jacksonville St, UAB, Georgia St and Samford.

#14 San Diego was the big winner this week after beating #11 Hawai’i and barely losing to Texas. Both matches were in front of huge crowds in Honolulu.

Volleyblog Seattle is one of 10 national voters in the Volleyball Magazine media poll. In our humble opinion:
  • underrated: Arizona St, Wichita St, Creighton
  • overrated: Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan St, Kentucky, Ohio St, BYU
