And they finished 3rd with a 2-1 record against the two teams ahead of them.

Gophs are now at #8 in the RPI, with Ohio State at #7. Let's hope for a 7-seed, though I would like to see this weekend's team play Texas again.

A few observations about B1G teams: Ohio State's losses to Maryland and Indiana opens up an opportunity for Wisconsin to move into the top four, depending on upcoming matches against Nebraska and Ohio State. Minnesota drops four spots after losing at Penn State and winning at Rutgers. Some...

Coaches' rankings (https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1/avca-coaches) versus RPI: San Diego ranked #2, with RPI at #9; Purdue ranked #14, with RPI at #24, Southern Cal ranked #30 with RPI at #21; and Towson also ranked #30 (tied with USC), with RPI at #52. (Towson is 22-1, with a...

Thanks, Ignatius. Big Ten movers since the October 2nd Top Ten: Purdue at #9 dropped out (they were 12-1 at the time; now they're 16-6); and Wisconsin, not listed on October 2nd, is now #7 (they were 8-3 at the time, and since then, have won 9 straight).

It seems strange that that's not something you can challenge. With a camera angle looking right down the net, it would seem to be one of the easier things to review.

It was mentioned here some time ago that the Gophers hadn't yet put up their Elite Eight banner from last year. It's still not up. Does anyone have any information about this?

Ask and you shall receive.

What was neat about this match was that two players, Lauren Crowl and Arica Davis, who are among the most vocal on the bench in cheering on their teammates, came off the bench to bring that same energy on to the court and make major contributions toward winning the match.

I seriously doubt that McCutcheon's decision to leave, probably for some executive position in or out of volleyball, was affected in the slightest by posts on this forum.

Yeah, we moved up one spot because Purdue lost 3-0 at home to Maryland yesterday. In the RPI, the Gophs dropped two spots from #7 last week.

Even with this latest loss, the Gophers are still #9 in the latest unofficial RPI rankings. So maybe "mediocrity" is a bit of an overstatement, even if you meant that we're just approaching mediocrity.

I thought this was called a "forum," not a cult chatroom. Maybe I was wrong.

Is there a betting line on either of these games yet?

Oops, I didn't see Ignatius's post.

Gophs move up one spot to 10th in the coaches' rankings, and up three spots to 7th in the RPI, passing San Diego, Oregon, and UCF. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1/avca-coaches https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1/ncaa-womens-volleyball-rpi

The NCAA volleyball selection committee's first top-10 ranking has the Gophers at #10. A couple of surprises: Wisconsin isn't listed and Oregon is #7. The Gophers have already played four of the nine teams ahead of them...

A good rule to follow: Never ever bet on the football team cooperating.

I don't follow Gopher football all that closely, but my general impression is that Fleck will sometimes say in general terms that a loss was on him, e.g., he didn't have the team ready to play, but he rarely, if ever, questions a specific call he made. Also, I don't believe him when he says...

Ha! A little premature, though.
