In Louisville, the buzz around women’s volleyball is starting to heat up as the NCAA Division I women’s volleyball committee recently announced its top-16 rankings. This announcement coincided with the exciting match between Pitt and Stanford on Sunday, October 20, showcasing the competition’s intensity and talent.
The selection of these top teams is based on a thorough evaluation of several factors. The committee takes into account head-to-head results, top-10 wins, and strength of schedule. These rankings are critical as they set the stage for the upcoming volleyball championship, which is scheduled to be held on December 19 and December 22 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville.
The first semifinal match will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 19, and will be broadcast on ESPN, with the second semifinal match following 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first. The highly anticipated national championship match is set for 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, December 22, airing on ABC.
The rankings are derived from a detailed review of team performance throughout the season, taking into account their Rating Percentage Index, performances against common opponents, significant wins and losses, and the locations of their contests. Additionally, regional advisory committees provide valuable input to help shape the decisions made by the women’s volleyball committee.
As the countdown to the championship begins, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see which teams emerge as the frontrunners in this dynamic sport.
