Volleytalk Poll > AVCA. And its not even close tbh. How someone can vote Penn state # 1 is beyond me. True. But then again, we had someone rank Stanford #4. (He knows who he is). I think we all know who he is lol.

I think Oregon is better than BYU, Penn State, and Florida. Oergon has as much athleticism as anybody in the country

When was the last time a team was overwhelming #1 like the current Stanford team (62 of 64 first place votes) but crashed and burned badly at the end of the season? Nebraska in 2006. I assume you mean 2007.

I think people are really sleeping on USC. There aren't many OH combos better than Lanier and Botkin, and the rest of their personnel are strong too. If they can become a cohesive unit, they have a lot of potential. Cohesive is the word. Coaching will either let them flourish or crash and burn. The tail end of last season the entire team was flagging.

I mean, somebody ranked Penn St. #1. Just like Marc Anthony, I need to know.

AVCA isn't releasing ballots until Week #1. RUDE! That's because they are all using the blindfolded dart-throwing technique for the pre-season poll. (Like the rest of us.).

I just wish this poll would come close to falling in line with the conference polls. I know most aren't out yet, but I also know they are going to be inconsistent.
Pac-12 for instance.

They've had that combo for some time...tick tock...tick tock. They were a couple points away from the final four the only year they had that combo healthy. They had more around them then.

I trust the conference preseason polls a lot more than the AVCA poll. Don't think much thinking goes into this one.

Stanford is head and shoulders better than every team in the country. They return 4 girls who are 2 time national champions and they are all really good. 3 are clearly some of the best at their respective position in the entire country. Most teams would kill for Plummer, Hentz, Gray and Fitzmorris not to mention that Campbell and McClure are really good. Put Stanford into the Final Four, the burning question is if any team can beat them during the regular season or if in the Final Four they will falter the way they did a couple seasons ago against Florida.
