Half the Pac 12 is ranked.

3/4 of the league is ranked or receiving votes.

They might have made it in to the 20's if they had beaten Wyoming. But receiving votes is a good start.

Half the Pac 12 is ranked.

Utah should be getting some votes. They're 13-3. Only losses were to ranked teams - USC, Washington and BYU (which went 5 sets).

 

[BeBe]

NCAA issued it's first VB RPI report today. Colorado comes in at 35. If they can stay around that area thru the end of the season they should make their first NCAA tourney since the 2006-2007 season. Also, in support of the idea that Utah should be getting votes,, they came in at 18. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1

Wyoming loss was definitely a bad loss in terms of getting votes.

I don't think the Buffs will surprise anybody else the rest of the season after beating UCLA and Washington. They will have to be ready to defend their home court and beat ranked teams at their house.
