This last voter comment, from someone who has seen most of the top teams live, feels like a good sign that this could be a special year:

“Feinswog: I was in Pittsburgh when Pitt beat Penn State last week. And I’ve also been fortunate to have seen in person Stanford, Louisville, Nebraska, Purdue, Wisconsin and Kentucky. It’s going to take a very, very good team hitting on all cylinders to beat Pitt”

Even the Nebraska beat writer voted Pitt #1!

Here’s a crazy stat

We are 27-0 in sets played ( crazy in and of itself)

Of those 27 sets - in just 5 of them has the opponent eclipsed 20 points. That’s unbelievable.

Oregon x 2 ( 25 and 23)
LBSU x1 ( 20 )
USC x1 (29)
ECU x1 (23)

That’s it

To say we are dominant is almost an understatement.

What is the record for sets won without a loss?

Penn State won 111 consecutive sets between 2007-2008. Their 2008 team only lost 2 sets all year. We've got a while to go to beat that

That’s unbelievable- wow

That’s unbelievable- wow

Their teams were so dominant then. I doubt it will ever be eclipsed as there are so many good volleyball teams now.

111 consecutive sets.....forget about it. Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak was set in 1941...83 years ago. That's what 111 consecutive winning sets in volleyball is like. It will endure for years to come.....maybe forever.

Illinois was one of the best teams in the B1G back then.
