College volleyball rankings: Texas is the new No. 1 in the AVCA poll NCAA.com

CHAMPS

PRESENTED BY We've got a new No. 1 team in town after four consecutive weeks with Baylor in that spot. Texas gained the No. 1 spot in this week's AVCA coaches poll after taking down . Texas received 43 first-place votes in this week's rankings. The Longhorns looked like the No. 1 team in their 25-19, 25-10, 25-19 victory over Baylor with a strong front-line and defensive performance and 12 kills. They outmatched Baylor in almost all areas, and outhit the Bears .342 to .084. The Longhorns also overpowered the Bears on the service line with nine aces. UPSET: This Texas team is well-rounded with offensive threats coming from not only senior Micaya White, but also Logan Eggleston, freshman Skylar Fields and Brionne Butler, who led the Longhorns in the Baylor victory. Pittsburgh slides into the No. 2 spot. They also received a good amount of first-place votes this week with 18. They currently are 21-1, with just one loss to Penn State. They lack top-10 wins this season, which is likely why Texas has an advantage over them for No. 1. They rounded out the weekend with wins over Notre Dame and Louisville. Baylor dropped to three and Wisconsin follows at No. 4. The Badgers have extended their streak to 10 straight wins after week nine. There were many upsets in Week 9, including Purdue taking down Nebraska and UCLA sweeping Stanford. The Cardinal have now played seven matches without two-time AVCA National Player of the Year Kathryn Plummer, who is out with an injury, and dropped their first match without her. The Huskers are eighth in this week's rankings and Stanford fifth. ALL-TIME LINEUP: Marquette moved into the top 10 after Washington fell out with a loss to Utah.
