Re-ranking the 16 remaining NCAA women’s volleyball tournament teams for regionals

After a thrilling second round of regional play, I re-ranked the remaining 16 teams left standing in the 2024 NCAA women’s volleyball tournament.

I took each team’s original seeding given by the committee and adjusted it based on tournament play only. 

Here’s my 2024 regionals re-rank list, along with their original bracket seeding:

1. Pitt (No. 1 seed)
2. Nebraska (No. 1)
3. Penn State (No. 1)
4. Stanford (No. 2)
5. Creighton (No. 2)
6. Louisville (No. 1)
7. Texas (No. 3)
8. Wisconsin (No. 2)
9. Kentucky (No. 3)
10. Purdue (No. 4)
11. Missouri (No. 7)
12. Texas A&M (No. 6)
13. Oregon (No. 4)
14. Florida (No. 6)
15. Dayton (No. 5)
16. Marquette (No. 5)

Starting at the top, there is no movement with Pitt, Nebraska, and Penn State. Pitt and Nebraska dominated through the first two rounds, two sweeps apiece. Listen to this number: the Huskers held their first two opponents to a .010 hitting percentage. PSU dropped one set to North Carolina in the second round.
