NCAA D1Committee Top Ten

With Wisconsin's loss to Ohio State ( a team the ladies swept earlier in the season), Does Pitt get a coveted Committee top 4? I would have to say yes.

Dont know. They lost 3 sets this weekend. I know it doesnt seem a big deal, but it is an impact.

Losing 3 sets will be no impact at all. Win out and we have a shot. At the very least we get a 2 seed.

Of note, Pitt's RPI is up to #3. But it is still going to have to play #162 NC State and #129 Duke (along with #34 Louisville and #29 FSU).

All they can do is keep winning.

Losing those sets definitely has an impact, but not enough impact to match Wisconsin losing to OSU. Pitt has compensated for a weak schedule by dominating everyone they play. I don't think they'd be at #2 if they were beating mediocre ACC teams 3-1 or 3-2. Hats off to GT for giving them a solid challenge, but I don't think the Clemson game should've been nearly so close. Clemson is not good.

The biggest games left are:
Texas at Baylor
Wisconsin at Minnesota, vs Nebraska, at PSU
Nebraska at Minnesota
Stanford at Utah (Pitt beat Utah)

For RPI purposes, we want Cincy to stay in the top-25 and OSU to stay in the top-50. Cal Poly and South Carolina have actually done pretty well lately too. It would be a huge snub to be ranked #2, in the RPI top-4 and not get a top-4 overall seed.

I agree with you in that Clemson is not good and this may impact the rankings. Losing a set to them has no impact on the RPI and the RPI is the only thing that matters. Our RPI just moved up to 3.

The seeding is done almost exclusively by RPI. If we end up top 4 RPI, there is a pretty good chance we end up as a #1 seed.
