Really...this is just me trying to remember how to do a podcast. Spotify has taken over the tools from my previous site. As far as the content of this podcast, it's a lot of numbers. How could it not be entertaining? I look at the teams that made the biggest jumps and falls in Week 5 and also look at some SOS numbers. If I do another podcast, it will be better. (Or not.)

Robert Rochelle from D3VbWest talks about the news announced on March 9th that has Trinity and Southwestern moving conferences. Why is this being done? Are more moves coming? What will scheduling look like in volleyball?

D3VbWest.Com presents simulations around the selection of at-large bids for the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Using the 2nd Regional Rankings and projection tools, I'll give you the 20 teams that will get at-large bids to the tournament as of today. NOTE - I made a mistake when saying Stevenson's project number. It is 485 and not 585. Big difference. :-(

D3VbWest.Com presents a rundown of the AVCA Top 25 (really 28 when I sneak in 3 teams) and compares them to where they land using two statistics I love; Points/Set and Hitting Percentage. See what teams are ranked too high and which not high enough.

D3VbWest.Com presents the National Wrap-Up that covers the preseason AVCA Top 25 and how those teams did their first week of the season. We'll look at the teams that should stay ranked and those that should find other employment. We'll also look at the teams that are flying under the radar that should be considered by the AVCA. At the end, we'll do a quick look at the West Region teams just to annoy everyone else.

Presented by D3VbWest.Com! Robert Rochelle gives us some DIII Volleyball Eve love as we prepare for matches tomorrow. He covers rankings and what to expect from the website on Match Days! He also goes briefly over Quality Win Index and mostly gets sidetracked when talking about NCAA Tournament at-large selection.

D3VbWest sits down with Sul Ross State Head Coach Troy Canaba and his daughter, Annika Canaba. Troy coaches BOTH softball and volleyball with Annika playing both sports. With the pandemic, they are faced with playing both seasons at the same time. We talk about how they are handling the situation and what it's like coaching your daughter and playing for your father. We also talk Covid, recruiting and, most importantly, what is Annika's favorite sport. Special appearance by my cat a few times. Note: I have a bad cut in the middle of the interview where the recording duplicates a small portion. Sorry about that.
