Stanford #5 in NCAA RPI:
https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball...eyball-rpi
without any need for adjustments:
1 - Nebraska vs. 16 - TCU
8 - SMU vs. 9 - ASU
4 - Penn State vs. 13 - Utah
5 - Stanford vs. 12 - Texas
3 - Louisville vs. 14 - Dayton
6 - Creighton vs. 11 - Kansas
2 - Pittsburgh vs. 15 - Purdue
7 - Wisconsin vs. 10 - Kentucky
Unfortunately, in this set-up, Stanford faces Texas in the R16.
The Lady Longhorns may have been inconsistent during
SEC play, losing three matches to unranked teams
but sweeping both ranked Florida and Kentucky on the road,
but they are slowly shaping up into NCAA tournament form
led by Madisen SKINNER, who had insane offensive performances
in their last 4 matches (12 sets), all routs, totalling 83-13-159
for almost 7 kills/set at a .440 hitting pct
