Ohio Volleyball is ranked #31 in the preseason poll. Highest preseason ranking in school history. Ohio will play #14 ranked Louisville and #23 ranked St. Mary's (Ca) this year plus #30 Purdue. Nebraska is ranked #1.
Our schedule is too weak to earn a high seed for the NCAA's. We should have a least 4 ranked opponents on the schedule.

I'd love to see us sign a football-volleyball deal with Nebraska.
Volleyball may be Ohio's best sport right now. A ranking that high is very impressive for a MAC school in preseason.

Cool K-C. You've finally found a sport that you possibly, maybe, could've,
kinda understand.

I can't wait to see our preseason basketball ranking. 04-rock

We should be top 40 given the loaded team we have returning.
The Bobcats' volleyball team ranks high in my book, too!

I was waiting for someone to pull that picture out again :)
I think we will be right about 40-45 in hoops preseason polls. We are still under the national radar a bit and most polls overweight the ACC, Big East, Big 12, PAc 10, Big Ten and SEC. Most polls with have 12 of 16 BE teams ranked ahead of us because of east coast media bias. Even the football polls are under rating BGSU, Toledo, Miami, and NIU by a lot. To have a team ranked #31 in any sport from the MAC shows that somebody thinks a lot of about that team.


I hope we find more pics of Krissy. She is All-MAC in my book.

What?

The MAC finally has the respect of pollsters after a big year in 2003. NIU, Miami, Toledo, and Bowling Green didn't beat any current BCS schools last year. Toledo in fact was demolished by Minnesota and Kansas. Nobody looks like preseason top 25 material.

We have more respect than CUSA and I think that's a fair deal for this leauge until they prove something.

I don't sit on threads just to single out one individual for harassment.


Now harassing an entire school, I have nothing against that. 03-wink

What does last year have to do with this year's preseason polls? If it really had a basis then BG and NIU would not be ranked ahead of Toledo. But they are, because this is this year not last year.

I might not totally agree with the rankings, especially NIU ahead of Toledo.....but I understand that last year really doesn't have anything to do with this year.


Oh, and why isn't the MAC's Flagship......the one school that beat a current BCS school last year........receiving any votes? I mean between the MAC's only win over a current BCS school last year and the hiring of Frank Solich I would expect at least 1 vote for Ohio in the preseason polls. 03-wink

You single yourself out for harrassment.

Because we don't deserve a vote. I at least have the honesty to admit my school doesn't belong in the top 25.

Toledo after being embarrassed in the Motor City Bowl (yet again), and miserable recruiting deserves a top 15 ranking? Heck no they don't. They are lucky to be considered a top 40 team.

Schools build a reputation with the pollsters over the years. The pollsters look at bowl performance, who the school has returning, how they've done in the conference ect....to evaluate a team. Yes, what you've done in previous years does count. It takes a couple years of top 25 finishes before a non-BCS program will earn a top 25 starting position.

Reality is Toledo has nowhere near the talent of the top 25 ball clubs and if it wasn't for Bruce there would be zero votes.

Proving my point yet again. How did you get through elementary school, much less OU?
