A match-up between two of the top-three teams in the nation is now officially set.
BYU and UC Santa Barbara days before the start of their weekend non-conference series stayed at No. 2 and No. 3 in the new Off the Block National Media Poll that was released Wednesday.
The National Media Poll is the only rankings in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball solely determined by media members. The 10 teams receiving the most votes are ranked in the National Media Poll, while other schools earning votes but finishing outside of the top 10 are considered teams receiving votes.
A new national media poll is released every Tuesday during the regular season on Off the Block’s website.
