The Pac is tough. 8 teams either ranked or receiving votes. #18 for the Buffs. Will be playing #15 San Diego this weekend.

CSU lost two matches this weekend and isn't even receiving votes.

Just saw (thanks to volleytalk for the link) that Naghede Abu has been named the Pac 12 Defensive Player of the Week (per http://pac-12.com/article/2016/09/01/pac-12-volleyball-players-week).

Congrats to her for the well-deserved honor!

4-1 CU is ranked #18.

2-3 Penn State which we just beat... #17.

3-1 Stanford, which also handled Penn State & Illinois this weekend... #9.

2-3 Illinois which we just beat... #21.

So much of WVB voting is about reputation.

Even more so than in WBB. At least CSU, who was 25th and lost both matches this weekend isn't even receiving votes!

A big congratulations to Naghede Abu on being named Pac 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

I was not happy with the coaching change last year. However, I now am thinking Rick George knew what he was doing.

I'm not sure how much of a choice RG had as there were apparently some recruiting improprieties - at least that's what I have heard.

As for Mahoney, of course he's quality - he is a Boulder High alum after all .

There was also an issue with an assistant coach.
