Ohio State unanimous No. 1 in season's first national media poll
The defending NCAA champions picked up right where it left off both on the court and in the national media poll.
Ohio State received every first-place to finish atop the season's inaugural Off the Block/Springbak, Inc. National Media Poll that was released on Tuesday.
Ohio State opened the season with home non-conference victories against USC and UCLA during the weekend at the AVCA Showcase. In addition, the four-game victory versus the Bruins was a match-up between the top-two ranked teams in the preseason national coaches poll.
Despite the early-season loss, UCLA earned all but one second-place vote to get the No. 2 ranking in the new top 10 national media poll.
Long Beach State, BYU and Hawai'i round-out the top half of the media poll.
2. UCLA — 107 points
7. Pepperdine — 46 points
10. Stanford — 23 points
Others receiving votes: George Mason 13; UC Santa Barbara 5; Penn State 4
