We had folks looking at RPI throughout the season warning that a seed would be unlikely. The AVCA polls are said to be less relevant…and def for us for this year. Our losses to low RPI teams—e g MSU and uhhh MSU — I figure did us in. I’ll worry about WI another week. KS can be very good when they want to be. I’ve seen them play one lackluster set followed by absolute domination. So let’s have fun in 1 and 2.

The thing about the AVCA polls is you have some coaches voting with an agenda, coaches voting with a bias, coaches voting with a long-term grudge about some team or conference, coaches who only pay attention to the top few teams, and coaches who let someone else vote for them because they don't want to take the time.

@coachtamas has a long thread over there about throwing in the towel on RPI for selection. Not reading to me like sour grapes. Asking whether the computer is seeing the teams. And whether we’re getting the best tournament. Also says BB has ditched it. Hmmm.

There is no easy road to the final four, no matter what region you're in. Sure it would be nice to host, but playing away might take some of the pressure off to allow them to focus. Keep in mind every team knows Penn State is on fire. I don't think anyone is tickled to be playing them right now. This team is a scary machine.

Instead of a tough tournament in August, let's schedule some cupcakes to allow our new players and the team to gel and get some wins. And, let's find a way to win when we're up 2 sets on Nebraska.
