Ball State and Ohio State are back in the national rankings.
Both the Cardinals and Buckeyes after clinching shares of the MIVA regular season championship during the weekend were both ranked in the latest Off the Block National Media Poll that was released Tuesday.
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.
