VBM Super 16: Our final media poll heading into the NCAA tourney

This is the last VolleyballMag.com Super 16 Media Poll of the season and we give high fives and thank our voters for all the hard work to make this happen every week.

It’s been a great addition to VBM and we look forward to doing it again in 2024. We will start after — note, after — the non-conferenee season ends, because that’s the first time we should have polls.

There was not much movement this week. For that matter the top eight teams stayed the same before Arkansas and Tennessee exchanged places at Nos. 9 and 10.
