It's interesting how much pressure there is for these early season OOC games in volleyball. The team needs to finish with a high RPI to get home court for the NCAA tournament, which is a brobdingnagian asset considering the tournament is happening around finals. To do that, they need to schedule top opponents and beat them. Last year their early season loss to BYU put them behind the eight ball to some degree.
Upcoming matches against Penn St, BYU and Nebraska should be great to watch.
During the broadcast, they showed a list of impressive Pac 12 wins so far this season and there were quite a few. I can't remember them all, but they included Utah and Colorado in some big upsets. Hopefully that RPI boos will take off the pressure of an early season drop, should there be one.
