#7 Cal Poly - They did beat SCarolina, who may also be over-ranked. They will need to beat somebody from West region to get into the bid race. Based on won-lose only SCarolina may "look" over-ranked but if you look at the scores vs. LSU and FSU they were right there on both for the taking and they just couldn't get a big win. You are probably right. It is just hard to know based on limited games whether they are ranked correctly or over-ranked at this point. Certainly not under-ranked. I did *not* have SCarolina on my over-ranked list initially (or now). Just saying they are still a bit of an unknown. They will have plenty of chances to prove it one way or another, as they have a pretty good East region schedule. But almost no chance for At-Large now (unless they beat USC).

Reactions to AVCA Poll"Seven CCSA Beach squads crack the Top-20 this week! LSU, FIU and FAU rises this week after strong weekends." - @ccsa_Beach # 4 LSU earns Highest Ranking in Program History "LSU is the highest ranked team from the east in both polls. This is the first time LSU has cracked the top-5 in either poll in the program’s six-year history. (...) The highlight of the weekend came on Saturday when the Tigers defeated Florida State, 3-2, for the first time in program history. It was the Seminoles’ first conference loss since joining the CCSA and their first loss to a team from a state east of California since 2015." - lsusports.net"Cal Beach Volleyball is ranked No. 11 in the most recent AVCA poll! Our highest ranking of all time!!" - @calbeachvball "The Bruins remain at No. 1, but this time, it is unanimous (all 27 first-place votes)!" - @uclabeachvb Photo: @ncaavolleyball

Isn’t it interesting that Stanford is still ranked #12 in the AVCA poll, only dropping one spot, despite being swept by St. Mary’s and going 0-4? The Dig poll seems a little more accurate to me this week.
Shout out to the WCC with 3 teams in the Dig poll’s top 20.

DIG is skipping 12? There's only 19 team listed in their "Top 20".

Loyola Marymount is very even with USC right now. Granted LMU has already played three games and USC is playing their first. Great to see another WCC improving.

Joy Dennis continues to lose for USC. Golly her personal record must be poor over the years.
