The top teams got away unscathed on the second day of the NCAA volleyball season, but Saturday was not without its upsets and surprises.

The SEC is 23-6, which includes Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee all 3-0 and the only team in the league that didn’t get a win the first two days was 0-2 Ole Miss. 

The Big Ten’s Michigan State, Northwestern and No. 8 Penn State are 0-2.

The Big 12 is 22-7 and five of those losses were incurred by three of the best teams, including Baylor and TCU, both 0-2.

Syracuse of the ACC is 0-3.
