Out of the 26 teams that received votes for the preseason poll, seven can be found on the Cyclones’ 2012 schedule, including No. 16 Tennessee and No. 14 Florida State, who the Cyclones will open their season with this weekend.

The Cyclones will also take on No. 2 Texas, No. 5 Nebraska and No. 9 Illinois this season, in addition to Kansas State and Northern Iowa, who both received votes in the poll.

Earlier this summer the Cyclones were ranked No. 10 in the American Coaches Volleyball Association preseason poll, as well. Iowa State will open its season this weekend with the Comcast Lady Vol Classic in Knoxville, Tenn.
