Let’s go through my Power 10 after Week 2, when absolutely nothing makes sense in college volleyball right now.
It’s safe to say this is the most parity we have ever seen in the first couple of weeks of play. More importantly, it’s our second straight week with a new No. 1 team after both Texas and Nebraska were dethroned.
1. Pittsburgh (Prev. 3)
Pitt takes over the No. 1 spot for me heading into Week 3.
Ranked wins are really important to me, but it’s not everything. Pitt may have fewer ranked wins, beating only Oregon at the end of August, but this is one of the most complete teams coming off of a national semifinal trip and they deserve it for now.
2. Penn State (Prev. 6)
I have Penn State up at No. 2 after an overly impressive sweep over Louisville. The Cardinals aren’t an easy team to take down and they did it in straight sets. Izzy Starck has a plethora of options now with what has become a really well-rounded offense and the added weapons that have joined forces with Jess Mruzik. After the sweep, they took down Kentucky in a five-set battle — PSU’s third ranked-win of the season.
3. Stanford (Prev. 4)
Stanford makes the top 3 even…
