Well it's that time of year again... WVB Postseason and the tournament predictions have begun. Using RPI, computer rankings, and the polls, one of the most reliable sources over on VolleyTalk predicts the top 16 seeds will be: (1) USC (2) Texas (3) Minnesota (4) Wisconsin (5) Washington (6) Nebraska (7) Texas A&M (8) Kansas (9) Florida (10) Penn State (11) Stanford (12) BYU (13) UCLA (14) Ohio State (15) Missouri (16) Louisville The four sites have been predetermined: Austin, TX; Des Moines, IA; Lexington, KY; and San Diego, CA. Who plays in which of the four won't be revealed until the Selection Show on 11/29, but they try to minimize the amount of travel involved. The locations listed below are my best guess. That means, barring any upsets between now and then, the regionals would be: Lexington, KY (1) USC (8) Kansas (9) Florida (16) Louisville Austin, TX (2) Texas (7) Texas A&M (10) Penn State (15) Missouri Des Moines, IA (3) Minnesota (6) Nebraska (11) Stanford (14) Ohio State San Diego, CA (4) Wisconsin (5) Washington (12) BYU (13) UCLA IMHO, the hardest one is Des Moines and the easiest is Austin. If you're considering attending, do as Jerritt Elliott says, "Buy your tickets now to keep those Aggies out of this gym." If you'd like to read more, see Volleytalk Hook 'em!
