Here is my Power 10 after Week 3 of women’s college volleyball.
For the record, it is still very early in the season, and tough to gauge. There wasn’t much movement among my top four, but there were a few adjustments to the bottom three that anyone could argue.
1. Pittsburgh (Prev. 1)
Pitt remains at No. 1 with no reason to move down. The Panthers swept a ranked team in USC and look as solid as ever.
2. Stanford (Prev. 3)
No. 2 is an easy one. I moved Stanford up a spot after an impressive sweep of Texas on Sunday.
Kami Miner finished with a .340 hitting clip, including .448 in the third set. Elia Rubin and Jordyn Harvey led the offensive effort, while Sami Francis finished with five blocks. The Cardinal looked like a total unit.
The Cardinal appears to be back in tip-top shape and one of the best teams in the country.
3. Penn State (Prev. 2)
Even though Penn State swept both of their opponents last week, the Nittany Lions dropped to No. 3 strictly because of Stanford’s more impressive sweep over Texas.
The top 3 teams are interchangeable right now. However, be on the lookout for potential movement in the next rankings with Pitt and Penn…
