A weekend of upsets caused the Top 25 on the AVCA Coaches Poll to shift. After then-No. 1 Minnesota fell to #10 Penn State, the Golden Gophers were moved back down to third place. Wisconsin’s victories put them to No. 1 for the first time in program history. No. 12 Stanford’s loss to Utah helped the Utes move up to 21. Washington fell to then-No. 20 Oregon, bumping the Ducks up to #16. A final upset for the weekend, UCLA falling to unranked Arizona, definitely switched up the numbers.
