Today's AVCA poll released: Stanford at #5. Louisville #3 and Texas #4. I agree where Stanford is currently ranked in the poll.
The match on Friday against WSU is important for Stanford to stay in contention for a #1 regional seed. If Stanford wins on Friday and wins the balance of the conference season they are pretty much assured of playing at home. If Stanford loses to WSU I have doubts about the regional tournament being played at Maples.

Punzel: I’m definite about 1-2, Nebraska and Wisconsin. After that, I’m lost. I thought Stanford had established itself as a definite No. 3 but I thought wrong.
Haley: The top three (Nebraska-Wisconsin-Louisville) are taking care of business.
Arneal: Stanford suffered one of the more shocking losses of the year, falling to Arizona State. The surprise wasn’t that the Sun Devils won, but rather how they did it with a dominant sweep as the Cardinals reached 20 points in just one set.
Feinswog: It feels like there are three tiers. The first is Nebraska-Wisconsin, and they’re a cut above. The second is Texas-Louisville (my 3-4). And then the rest you could put in a blender.
