Volleyball conference standings

Q: How are these volleyball conference standings calculated?

Conference record counts every completed match between two teams the NCAA.com feed places in the same league, from the saved results through Oct. 20. Ratings and title odds come from the D1 Picks model.

Q: What are the conference title odds?

The share of 4,000 simulated conference tournaments each team won. Each simulation seeds the league's top eight teams by a randomly nudged rating and plays a single-elimination bracket on neutral floors. It is an estimate of strength, not a forecast of each league's real format.

Q: Which conference is strongest?

By average model rating, Big Ten is first at 2.00, where 0.00 is an average D1 team. The table at the top of the page ranks all 32 leagues.

Standings for all 32 D1 women's volleyball conferences, starting with the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12. Each team shows its conference record, its model rank and rating, and its estimated chance to win the league. Big Ten is the strongest league by average rating.

What we assumed

Records come from completed D1 matches in the saved NCAA.com scoreboard results. A match counts as a conference match when both teams sit in the same league in that feed. Ratings were fit Oct. 21, 11:15 a.m. ET, so a record can include a match played after the ratings were fit.
Title odds simulate a single-elimination tournament of each league's top 8 teams on neutral floors, with every rating nudged by its estimated uncertainty (4,000 runs, seed 20261015). Leagues that crown a regular-season champion, or that use another format, will differ. We do not know each league's remaining schedule.
The NCAA field is 64 teams: 31 automatic bids and 33 at large (NCAA.com, checked 2026-10-14). Our feed lists 32 leagues; we assume Pac-12 has no automatic bid in 2026. That is our assumption, not an NCAA statement.
