Where Wisconsin volleyball is ranked in AVCA coaches poll ahead of Big Ten play
Wisconsin will begin the Big Ten portion of its 2026 volleyball schedule as the No. 6 team in the country.
The Wisconsin women's volleyball team currently holds the No. 6 ranking in the AVCA coaches poll ahead of the upcoming Big Ten play. This ranking came after the team secured a 2-0 record against unranked opponents Marquette and UW-Milwaukee, with both matches necessitating a best-of-three set format. Throughout the season, Wisconsin began at No. 6 and briefly ascended to No. 5 before settling back at the No. 6 position.
The team's notable victories include overcoming Louisville, Florida, and Texas A&M, who are now ranked No. 4, No. 8, and No. 16, respectively. All four nonconference losses were against teams ranked No. 12 or higher, with Pittsburgh and Kentucky, both in the top three, being recent examples. Wisconsin's first Big Ten opponent, Oregon, is currently ranked No. 20.
Following a home game against Oregon on September 24, the Badgers will travel to visit No. 10 Purdue on September 27. Other ranked Big Ten teams include No. 1 Nebraska, No. 14 Penn State, No. 15 Minnesota, No. 18 Indiana, and No. 23 USC.
