After a topsy-turvey week in NCAA Division I women’s volleyball, it’s no surprise that there was a shakeup in spots 5-16 in the VolleyballMag.com Super 16 Media Poll.
Wisconsin-Nebraska-Stanford-Washington State remained Nos. 1-4. Louisville jumped three spots to No. 5 and Arkansas jumped seven spots into a tie at No. 7.
Oregon fell four spots to No. 9 and Arizona State, after a week in which it was upset by Oregon State but then swept at Oregon, moved up two spots to No. 14.
