FORT COLLINS - The Pac-12 announced the 2026 women's volleyball predicted order of finish as well as individual awards Tuesday, as voted on by the league's nine head coaches with Colorado State predicted to finish first.

Colorado State has been tabbed the predicted winner of the Pac-12 inaugural season followed by Oregon State in second, Texas State in third.

In addition to being named top seed in the poll, the Rams boast three names to the 2026 Pac-12 Impact Players List. Eve Wilson, Erin Debiec and Halle Jameson find themselves representing the Rams ahead of their 2026 season.

Wilson enters her senior year and second season as a Ram after appearing in all 30 matches during the 2025 season. Wilson made a name for herself on the court in her first year as a Ram, recording 129 total blocks helping the team to be ranked 14th in NCAA, led the team offensively with 345 kills and finished her season with a .346 hitting percentage, leading her to be named Mountain West All-Conference and the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week two times throughout the season. 

Debiec comes off of a strong season for the Rams, earning her spot on the Pac-12 Preseason Impact Players List. Debiec was named to the 2025 Mountain West All-Tournament Team as well as being named 2025 Mountain West All-Conference after ranking 23rd in the NCAA with 1179 total assists, distributing .263 in team efficiency, recorded 290 digs and 85 total blocks, registered 17 service aces and ranked 29th in the NCAA amongst setters. 

Jameson enters her sophomore year after a strong freshman campaign, contributing 260 digs and 135 kills, totaling 11 double doubles, recording 39 total blocks and notching 17 service aces. She played a strong role in the Rams success during her freshman year, contributing a great amount to both Colorado State's offense and defense. 

The Rams kick off their conference season with familiar foe, San Diego State on September 24 in inaugural home match. Colorado State will conclude its conference season in the Pac-12 right where it all began in Fort Collins, completing its 2026 run against Texas State. The post-season format will invite the top four teams in the conference to play in a two-round tournament with the host determined by the conference leader after each team has completed the first half of the conference schedule.
