During the match, the NCAA selection committee released its initial rankings for the NCAA postseason tournament. Texas checked in at No. 7, which would make UT a clear-cut second seed if the NCAAs started today. That would allow the Longhorns to host their first two matches, but would likely be on the road for the tournament’s second weekend.

On its website, the committee said the rankings reflect “strength of schedule, Rating Percentage Index, head-to-head competition, results versus common opponents, significant wins and losses and locations of contests.” That criteria also is used to select the 64 teams that will play in the NCAA tournament.

Texas (18-2) is ranked third in the AVCA’s poll and sixth in the most-recent RPI rankings. UT’s two losses are to the fourth- and fifth-ranked teams in the AVCA poll. Texas’ biggest win at the moment, though, is over No. 12 Kansas.

Texas has six matches left. UT coach Jerritt Elliott said last week that Texas will likely need to win out if it wants a shot at a No. 1 seed. On Wednesday, the Longhorns found out they’ll also need other teams to lose a few matches as well.

Kentucky has suffered a loss since the first NCAA VB top ten rankings came out. Should allow both Florida and Texas to move up a spot closer to the top four.

Washington defeats Stanford. Don't know who will benefit the most from that: Washington or the teams ahead of Washington.

Horns are #5 in the latest NCAA RPI rankings.

Wonder when they will release the committee's next top 10. Bet I missed the second one with the season almost over.
