KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Cascade Collegiate Conference placed five teams in the first National Selection Committee (NSC) Volleyball Top 25 of the 2026 season, released Wednesday by the national office.
Eastern Oregon University led the way at No. 1 with a perfect 21-0 record, while Corban University followed at No. 5 with a 14-5 mark. College of Idaho landed at No. 8 with a 16-1 record, Lewis-Clark State at No. 20 with a 12-4 mark and Southern Oregon at No. 22 with a 14-6 record.
The NSC Top 25 marks a shift from the earlier coaches’ polls, with members of the National Selection Committee completing individual ballots based on data including the
ranking percentage index (RPI),
Area Rating Committee (ARC) standings, overall record, strength of schedule and conference record. The same data will be used in November when the selection committee determines at-large selections and seeding for the national championship field.
The first ARC standings placed seven CCC teams in the West region. Eastern Oregon ranked No. 1, followed by College of Idaho at No. 2, Corban at No. 4, Lewis-Clark State at No. 5, Southern Oregon at No. 7, Bushnell at No. 9 and Oregon Tech at No. 14.
