Well in a 64 team ranked tournament, we would be the best 3 seed in the country and USC would be the worst two seed. It virtually guarantees the #1 plays the 30th best team for the second round. It's clear we're the best rated 3 seed in the tournament.

Oh gotcha. I thought best team would get the worst two seed and worst 3 seed.nacluth said:

Interesting that there is one more coaches poll. Illinois lost bad their final week. Washington State had a top 10 win against rival Washington. Michigan lost two out of three (both to Purdue). There's room for SFA, but I don't see how we get a 3 seed in the tournament behind USC and somehow get ranked ahead of them. But, you never know.
Still first one out. Our seeding hurt us. A&M jumps us to get in.

It's my understanding that part of the reason for the regional seeding nonsense is because it helps grow the game.nacluth said:

Why not grow the game & reward smaller conferences by giving them host spots for incredible seasons.
The more I look at the rankings, the more irritated I get. Not because we aren't ranked. Rankings are fun to talk about, but we don't hang banners for rankings. I wanted more respect for the tournament. We were 8-0 at home. Let that sink in...Of our 32 games played, only eight were at home. That means we were 23-1 away from Shelton Gym. 24 of our games were on the road, where it is easy to slip up and we didn't.
We were road warriors this year, and get put with The #1 ranked team in the country. That is like saying we are the softest three seed in the country. I call BS on that one...

I got this email today. I have asked if all tickets are GA, is there really a designated SFA section. Also, the SFA site adds a fee that it appears the Baylor site does not.
"Please pass this information along to anyone who wants to purchase tickets. Thanks.
As of yesterday evening, tickets are now live for our match! Tickets may be purchased on the SFA Tickets page at sfajacks.com
I believe the cost is $10
On Friday at noon, a sales report will be sent to Kara Carpenter and she will take that to the game.
Anyone who has purchased tickets will pick them up at a Player Pass Window at the stadium when gates open.
Please encourage fans to arrive early to get their tickets!!
BUYING TICKETS THROUGH SFA WILL GET YOU SEATS IN THE SFA SECTION!!!
LET'S TURN WACO PURPLE!!!"

The response I got.
"Yes, the tickets we purchased are in our section!"
"Yes, the tickets we purchased are in our section!"
No way USC's gonna have a crowd. SFA's has a real chance to provide some home field advantage here.
I wish i could be there. Unfortunately I have family in town, that doesn't give a "rats ___" about SFA volleyball....

What a great day to be a SFA fan. Ladyjacks take on USC at 5 and Lumberjacks against Alabama at 7. Two P5 schools to which we aren't true underdogs. Axe 'em today Ladies!
Channel for this game?
Game time! Let's go Ladyjacks!!!
Let's go Ladies!
Tight start for the Jacks. Need to settle in and get some attacks rolling.
SFA 3 - 9 USC. Looking nervous. Need Debbie to yell at them once to settle down.
Hearing the announcers talk, sounds like we got an opponent who is just now healthy this season.
