Absolutely insane match between No. 22 @BYUwvolleyball and No. 17 Baylor.
Cougs went up 2-0, Bears threatened a reverse sweep, and #BYU used a 6-0 run in 5th to survive for 1st top-25 win.
Brooke Hardy set freshman record with 6 aces to go with 11 kills.

.@byusoccer_w fell out of the Top 25 this week. But the Cougars looked every bit the part of a ranked team tonight, out-shooting No. 23 UCF 24-7 in a 3-1 win to stay unbeaten at home.

One could write a dissertation on why this is happening (ironically, a 60-second video on why would get more eyeballs than the dissertation these days).
But the real tragedy here — and it's all related — is the continuing decline of media literacy.
The death or hollowing out of local news is a disaster that will really play out in the decades come to come.

This is less of a P2 conspiracy than it is a reminder that media outlets keep closing all over the country. You can't have a bunch of Conference USA beat writers as AP voters if the papers keep firing all the beat writers (or giving them four other jobs to do at the same time)
I see this graphic all the time on social media.
It contains a lot of data, and one thing that often gets lost is the conference affiliation of the writers being polled.
So I made a cleaner graphic that just shows the writer affiliations.
This is who holds the votes.
