Duke handed Pitt its first NCAA volleyball loss of the season on Sunday. Purdue upset Penn State in Rec Hall on Saturday. Hawaii stunned Cal-Poly on Friday. Conference upsets are common in NCAA volleyball. Yet with just about a month to go in the regular season, two spotless giants are ruling the sport's two premier conferences.

Minnesota (18-2, 12-0) is perfect against the rest of the power-packed Big Ten, which last week made up half of the AVCA poll top 10. The Gophers have dropped just two sets against Big Ten competition.
