Conference play starts next weekend for MVC volleyball teams, which means that the majority of non-conference matches have been completed.

I did some number crunching using a particular ranking system (not RPI-related), which I'll refrain from naming as it may be somewhat proprietary (though I'm sure many of you know what I'm referring to).
The data I looked at consists of:
- the Ranking of each of the conference teams (with 1 being the best, and 334 being the worst)
- WinAvg - the average of the rankings of all the teams that this team has beaten
- BestWin - the highest ranked team that this team has beaten
- LossAvg - the average of the rankings of all the teams that this team has lost to
- WorstLoss - the lowest ranked team that this team has lost to
- SoS - the team's Strength of Schedule computed by averaging the rankings of all teams this team has played
