Consequently, I find this poll to have a lot more credibility with regards to where the Big Ten teams stack up in the National rankings.

IIRC MSU relied heavily on seniors last year.  I'd expect a drop.  I also think the Nassar scandal is going to really hit the women's sports hard in recruiting going forward

They did lose of ton of key players to graduation, most of their elite servers and offense.  They still have good material, but agree, they will fall back a bit this year.  That will be interesting to follow (recruiting for MSU in women's sports).  They have a good history in volleyball, pretty solid support from the school and fans, but the B1G is no joke. No margin for error.

B1G Coaches vote on preseason.   As suspected, the AVCA the outlier on MSU (no offense to the Spartans).

I'll take this moment, once again, to mention how much I love that college volleyball is structured so the top intersectional teams can play each other in early season OOC, and not completely destroy their chances at post-season play later in the year.

This season in the OOC, Texas will play:

Oregon (in Lincoln)
Florida (in Lincoln)
Wisconsin (in Madison)
Kentucky (in Austin)
Stanford (in Palo Alto)
Stanford (in Austin)

I'm going to miss the scarlet and grey scrimmage for the first time in eons, as they didn't announce it until yesterday, after I had already agreed to attend a baseball game that night. Oh well.

Nebraska will have its scrimmage on the 18th. 8,000+ expected. It's another world in Lincoln.  I'm probably going to see my first home Nebraska match since 1999 this fall. Too bad it will be vs Rutgers.

Well I won't be there, and as Marq pointed out Texas and NU won't be playing against one another, but I'll be there in spirit. :)

I don't think I'm going to the scrimmage.  Went last year with the daughter, but she hasn't said anything this year.

Won't be attending the VERT either.  I don't think.  Tough ticket to get.
