KU Volleyball media guide
"It takes a lot of hard work and dedication just like any pro sport. Especially for beach volleyball you don't have to be tall or as fast as other sports. You just have to have the skills."

How Sports Editor Travis Robinett voted
1. LSU — Even the Tiger's backup quarterback can blowout the other team, albeit Middle Tennessee State.
2. USC — A nice win; Nebraska is always fondable at home.
3. Florida — Is there anything Tim Tebow can't do?
4. Oklahoma — Oklahoma, where DeMarco Murray goes sweeping down the field for 100 yards on four carries.
5. **West Virginia** — The Mountaineers keep putting teams away in the second half like a national championship contender should.
6. **Cal** — The Golden Bears are out
to their first 3-0 start since 2002,
and have done so convincingly.
*Texas* — Even though the Longhorns barely survived at Central Florida, they get a pass for actually having enough guts to play at Central Florida.
*Wisconsin* — The Citadel put up 31 points, will someone in the Big 10 please stand out?
*Ohio State* — It’s tough for me to get a handle on this team. I don’t think the Buckeyes are this good, but the teams ahead of them keep losing.
*Oregon* — Why not? ... I’m also afraid of The Duck.
