UCLA will enter the postseason atop the national rankings.
The Bruins received all but four first-place votes to finish at No. 1 in the latest Off the Block National Media Poll that was released Tuesday.
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.
This is the final National Media Poll of the regular season. The next poll will be released following the NCAA Tournament finals.
