How the Top 20 fared: Friday, October 28, 2011

An exciting night of volleyball, as big-time teams went head-to-head.

Stanford's easy victory over USC was my biggest surprise; I also figured Cal would beat UCLA (they didn't.)

Florida's loss (again) to Tennessee proves the SEC is no longer Snow Gator and the 11 dwarfs ... and tonight's match at 20-4 Kentucky could be a barn-burner.

As usual, Minnesota under-performs against weaker teams (losing to Northwestern), but could still threaten #3 Illinois tonight.
