In Louisville, Kentucky, excitement is brewing as the NCAA DI women’s volleyball committee has announced its in-season top-16 rankings. This release came during the highly anticipated match between Pitt and Stanford on Sunday, October 20. The rankings were determined based on all matches through Saturday, October 19, showcasing the dynamic competition present this season.
The committee used a variety of factors to decide the rankings, placing a strong emphasis on head-to-head results, top-10 wins, and strength of schedule. This approach ensures that the rankings reflect not just the performance but also the competitive nature of the teams involved.
As the season progresses, all eyes are on the upcoming 2024 DI women’s volleyball semifinals and championship match, which will occur on December 19 and 22 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville. The first semifinal match is slated for 6:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 19, and will be broadcast on ESPN. Following this, the second semifinal is set to begin 30 minutes after the first match ends, also available on ESPN. The excitement culminates on Sunday, December 22, with the national championship match kicking off at 3 p.m. ET, which will air on ABC.
The rankings revealed by the committee are based on a comprehensive selection and seeding process for the 64 teams entering the volleyball championship. This process takes into account several factors including strength of schedule, Rating Percentage Index, head-to-head competition, results against common opponents, and significant wins and losses, along with the locations of contests.
Moreover, input from regional advisory committees plays a crucial role in informing the decisions made by the Division I women’s volleyball committee. As the season nears its conclusion, teams will be striving hard to solidify their standings and make a strong push for a spot in the championship.
