Penn State is now at an all-time high in the National Media Poll.
The Nittany Lions following their fourth consecutive win against a top-10 nationally ranked team jumped two spots to No. 2 in the latest college men’s volleyball National Media Poll that was released Tuesday.
This is the highest ranking for Penn State since this poll started in 2016.
The National Media Poll is the only rankings in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball solely determined by media members. The 10 teams receiving the most votes are ranked in the National Media Poll, while other schools earning votes but finishing outside of the top 10 are considered teams receiving votes.
A new national media poll is released every Tuesday during the regular season on Off the Block’s website.
