Sports is no different, I can think of a dozen things that just seem to go with sports. Beer, hot dogs, nachos, sticky floors, you know what I mean right? However, one thing that really seems to be going together with sports these days is controversy. You might remember a week or two ago I was covering the news about the Michigan/Western Michigan game and how much of a travesty that outcome was. Needless to say, most people have moved on by now, but somehow, adding insult to injury, the NCAA finally spoke up again yesterday and admitted they got it wrong. "Protocol was incorrectly followed". Does that mean they are going to change the results of the game? Of course not. Again, I think that has more to do with Vegas already paying out the bets more than anything else. It's still an absolute joke in one of the last vestiges of pure sport still out there. If the NCAA is corrupt, what next? Pee Wee football? I am sure there are already countless cases across the world of fraudulent behavior in these organizations. This past week we have also had even more controversy. This time in women's sports. Ala the now infamous Novig ad staring Sydney Sweeney that many are claiming have set women's sports back decades. I don't know if I quite agree with that. Was it tasteful? No. Was it a good idea? Also no. However, to say it set women's sports back decades seems a bit sensational to me. Personally, I feel like saying it set them back implies that women's sports were on an equal level as the men's and we all know that isn't the case. I don't think it was the scorched earth move everyone (okay, the media) seems to imply, but it was definitely a poor move on the part of the people who thought it was a good idea. Anyway, I'm going to spend the rest of this post talking about the current College Volleyball standings. Nebraska stays at the top with a perfect 7-0 record. However, Pittsburgh sits right below them at 10-0. This is where you have to consider strength of schedule as well as past season performance. I think that's the only reason Nebraska is sitting above Pitt. Louisville comes in next followed by Kentucky, and SMU to round out the top five. The rest of the top ten is comprised of Wisconsin, Texas, Stanford, Penn State, and Florida. It's nice to see three Big Ten teams in the top 10. Eleven through fifteen gives us Purdue, Arizona State, TCU, Minnesota, and Texas A&M. Finally, we have Tennessee, Colorado, Baylor, Southern Cal, and Creighton to round out the top twenty. I should point out that the NCAA ranks up to 25, so Indiana, Kansas, Oregon, BYU, and North Carolina are still teams to keep an eye on. As I said before, it is nice to see the Big Ten so well represented in the rankings. I hope that continues through the rest of the season. ---------- ### [My Sports Account - @bozz.sports](https://www.peakd.com/@bozz.sports) ---------- #### Come hang out in [The Pub](https://peakd.com/c/hive-178138/created) [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/cCEMJXAEXk) Or Check out my [Grilling and Smoking Community on HIVE](https://peakd.com/c/hive-138631/created) ------------- ![TEAMUSAhive_footer_bozz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz/fXpCTKUZ-TEAMUSA-hive_footer_bozz.jpg) ---------------- *All pictures/screenshots taken by myself or @mrsbozz unless otherwise sourced*
