There were no dissenting votes when it came to the top team in the nation.

UCLA days after winning the NCAA championship received every first-place in the season’s final 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.

The National Media Poll is released each Tuesday during the regular season, and the final poll is released following the NCAA Tournament.
