Top seven teams — BYU, San Diego, Cal Poly, Creighton, Western Kentucky, Wichita State and Colorado State — stayed the same in this week’s VolleyballMag.com Mid-Major Poll presented by the NIVC.
Missouri State, which took over sole possession of the lead in the Missouri Valley Conference, moved up a notch to No. 8. Northern Iowa dropped from a tie for seventh to No. 9 and Dayton moved up a spot to No. 10.
New to the poll this week is No. 25 Sacramento State.
The VolleyballMag.com Mid-Major Poll includes all teams not in the “power-five” conferences (ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12).
