Week 7 Power 10 rankings are out. And oh boy, have things shifted.
Nebraska: Still Untouchable
Nebraska stays at No. 1. Again. Another top-15 opponent, another sweep. Harper Murray was on fire against Purdue, logging 16 kills on a scorching .640 hitting percentage. Seven sweeps in a row. Not a single error. Straight up dominant.

Texas: Clutch When It Counts
Holding steady at No. 2, Texas proved they can handle pressure. A five-set thriller against Tennessee with Torrey Stafford dropping a career-high 30 kills. First time since 2009 they've gone unbeaten in nine-straight ranked matches. They know how to close.
Kentucky: Rising Fast
Here's the big climber. Kentucky leaps to No. 3 after taking down Texas A&M on the road. Eva Hudson was a beast with 24 kills, hitting .373. This Wildcats team? They're making a statement. Pitt's loss gave them the opening, and they took it.
Pitt: A Setback, But Not Out
Pitt slides to No. 4 after falling to Miami. But let's be real, Miami's no joke this season. Pitt still holds a key win over Kentucky, keeping them just ahead of Louisville for now.
Louisville: Ready to Prove
Staying at No. 5, Louisville is right on Pitt's heels. They've been solid, but their schedule's about to heat up. A clash with Pitt this weekend could be the decider. You could feel it coming.
Stanford: Quietly Climbing
Up to No. 6, Stanford is making moves with back-to-back sweeps over Boston College and Syracuse. Lizzy Andrew was key, posting ten kills on a .625 clip. The Cardinal are lurking.
Arizona State: Making Noise
Arizona State jumps to No. 7 after two huge wins over Colorado and Baylor. They've got momentum, unlike Wisconsin, who stumbled against Penn State.
And just like that, the Power 10 is shaken. Kentucky's rise is the story, but Nebraska? Still the team to beat. Watch out for these teams as the season heats up.
