Pretty much.

Couple years ago we got an at-large as an unranked team, and we are #13 in the nation right now.

The pressing question is will the NCAA let UNI host a volleyball 1st/2nd round this year? It would be a shame if they don't. I think they will, the only concern is having so many other schools in the area like Iowa State, Minnesota, Illinois, and Nebraska as likely host sites.

UNI's in, no question. They are #6 in RPI.

Shocks #22
Bears #32
Jays n Drake in Top 50, Valley's gotta get at least 2 teams in, maybe 4.
