Poll questions

Remember - I'm the newbie trying learn.

First of all - what exactly goes into deciding how the teams are ranked each week? What's the process? I've looked over the AVCA site and didn't find anything and I think I need to shell out money on the Rich Kern site to figure it out. (And, yes I scanned through this message board and didn't find anything recent)

Secondly, what carries more weight beating a team that is ranked or beating a team that wasn't ranked when you played them but is ranked now?

This talks a little bit about it:

To answer your last question, I'd say beating a currently ranked team carries MUCH more weight than the other.

Thanksfor the linkage. I probably wasn't searching the forums with the right words.

Why? Did you strongly think that NMSU is suppose to be ranked higher than where they're at now! Oh C'mon...the victory over Hawai'i was called LUCK which for NMSU, it comes every 50 years...

Here's another tip and its very true: when the seedings are handed out the poll seems to not matter at all.

Where did I mention ANYTHING about the NMSU/Hawaii game?? Good grief - get a hold of yourself!!!!!!!!

I asked a couple of simple questions and got very helpful answers, aside from yours.
