There is now a unanimous No. 1 in college men’s volleyball.

BYU received every first-place vote in the latest Off the Block National Media Poll that was released on Tuesday.

BYU split a two-match road non-conference series against No. 2 Hawai’i, including hitting a near program-record .603 in the series opener. The Rainbow Warriors remained at No. 2 following the series against the Cougars.

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.
