CSU volleyball drops one spot in top-25 rankings, jumps up two in RPI
After a weekend sweep of Boise State and Utah State, the Colorado State women’s volleyball team dropped one spot to No. 7 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association weekly poll. While the Rams dropped one spot, Penn State (20-3) took the Rams’ spot at No. 6.
However, the Rams moved up two spots to No. 14 in the Rating Percentage Index. The RPI generally plays a large role in NCAA tournament seeding and determining the 16 first- and second-round host sites. It is based off of three categories: a team’s winning percentage (25 percent), its opponents’ winning percentage (50 percent) and the winning percentage of its opponents’ opponents (25 percent).
