A guy put up a post on volleytalk a couple of days ago that examined how different seeds have fared in the last 3 years once the selection committee shifted to seeding 1-32.

Here's a link to the post:

https://volleytalk.proboards.com/post/4625292/thread

The top 4 seeds have gone 47-1 in the first round, with the only loss Creighton to Auburn, after Creighton lost their super setter to injury. 

The 1 seed has literally never failed to make it to the regional finals, going 12-0 in the regional semifinals.

The 1 seed has gone 9-3 in the regional finals to make it to the Final Four. 

The only non #1 seed to play for the national championship was Texas in 2023. 

The most competitive matches have been:

1) the #4v5, with a 5-5 record and 5 of the 10 matches going 5 sets

2) the #2v3 with a 6-3 record and 4 of the 9 going 5 sets.

3) the 1v2 with a 5-3 record and 4 of the 8 going 5 sets.
