From the eye test, there’s complete agreement in the volleyball world that #10 Georgia Tech is a powerful team that can beat anybody in the NCAA. The team cracked the top 5 for a week before settling back into a comfy #10 spot for multiple week. Of the two NCAA Committee Top 10 Rankings that have come out, Tech was left out both times.
The ranking criteria given for the Top 10 are as such: Win/Loss Record, Strength of Schedule, Wins vs. RPI Top 10/25/50, H2H, RPI, Common Opponents, and Record in last 10 matches. Outside of RPI, the ranking system isn’t analytics heavy by any stretch, and prioritizes wins and ways to compare the quality of wins.
