CHAMPAIGN — The NCAA Women's Volleyball Committee has released a top 10 in the latter part of the season for three straight years as a way to ramp up interest ahead of Selection Sunday for the NCAA tournament.
Those rankings don't necessarily hold true and fast through the end of the season, though. Just ask Nebraska. The Cornhuskers were projected as a top-four seed in last year's list, won out the rest of the regular season and somehow wound up at No. 5 and not a potential regional host before ultimately winning their second national championship in three years.
