The CSU Rams volleyball team will begin the 2018 season ranked No. 25 in the AVCA Coaches' Preseason Poll.

The Rams finished the 2017 season ranked No. 24 after posting a 29-3 overall record, 17-1 in the Mountain West, while also making its 23rd consecutive NCAA Tournament and advancing to the second round.
