NCAA | Washington ranked seventh in media poll


Pac-12 continues to dominate voting, but NCAA and RPI don't fully agree

Reporters had their differences with both the latest RPI and the NCAA tournament committee in the November 27, 2012 Volleyball Magazine media poll.

In the opinion of media, the NCAA had too low an opinion of two teams in this weekend’s Seattle first/second round. They judged 13th seeded Washington as the 7th best team, and unseeded Hawai’i as the 8th best.

Reporters also thought #10 Nebraska was ranked too high at 4th seed, #20 Iowa State too high at 11th seed, and unranked Kentucky too high at #16.

As usual, Pac-12 schools fare poorly in RPI. Louisville skates in at #4, despite playing in a relatively weak conference; Oregon, USC and Washington appear to be punished for playing in the much tougher Pac-12.

NCAA | Filling out your tournament bracket


Figuring out which four teams will be in Louisville

Why should basketball fans have all the fun?

Let hoop heads have their March Madness. This is the season for a little December Delirium.

Feel guilty each spring when you waste time filling out those basketball brackets? We officially absolve any guilt if you waste time filling out your volleyball bracket right now!

The NCAA and Northwestern Mutual are sponsoring a bracket contest with a modest prize--$500 worth of t-shirts, hats and other college-logo goodies. It’s not a new car, but think how good you’ll look dressed head-to-toe in your school colors!

[Note: as with most Facebook-based promotions these days, the contest requires you to “LIKE” the Northwestern Mutual Insurance Facebook page to enter.]

Alright, time to fill in the blanks. Here’s how we see it.
