"There are 31 automatic bids with 33 at-large teams chosen by the NCAA volleyball committee. Volleyball seeds the top eight teams in each region, and the top four in each region serve as first- and second-round hosts. The rest of the bracket is filled out to balance it competitively and geographically. The highest-remaining seeds also host the regionals, and the 2025 Final Four is in Kansas City, Missouri, on Dec. 18 with the finals on Dec. 21."
"The ACC does not hold a postseason tournament. The regular season, which concludes Nov. 29, decides the automatic bid to the NCAA. A tournament doesn't seem necessary with the level of excitement the conference has already provided with more to come in the final two weekends. Last Friday Stanford and Pittsburgh had perhaps the match of the year that the Cardinal won 16-14 in the final set. Louisville pulled a reverse sweep on Miami on Sunday, while SMU took down Stanford in four sets."
Most leagues have finished the regular season and conference tournaments begin later this week, with Selection Sunday set for Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. ET. The NCAA tournament field features 31 automatic bids and 33 at-large teams selected by the committee. The top eight teams in each region are seeded, with the top four in each region hosting first- and second-round matches. Bracket placement balances competitive and geographic considerations, and the highest remaining seeds host regionals. The 2025 Final Four will be in Kansas City, Missouri, on Dec. 18, with the finals on Dec. 21. The ACC awards its automatic bid based on regular-season results and several teams remain tightly clustered in the standings.
