some rambling about being outrageous here

[GoGophs]

VT has voted Tennessee off the island 

[hopefuldawg]

This isn't terrible. 🙂

Half of the highest ranks are comically high.

Seems fair. You could nitpick about Texas vs Kansas, or obviously Wisco 1 better than Minny (they just played), but on the whole, tough to argue.
I am a bit perplexed that from 17 on, some of these teams received no votes...how does GT or TCU not receive a vote?
Kansas and Creighton are entrenched in the 5-8 spots, unless they lose a match which would likely punish them, CU more than KU depending on loss.

I really don't understand how Pitt isn't a unanimous No. 1 at this point. Does John Cook vote in this poll too?

Curious about the whys for Lousiville and Creighton above Stanford?

Creighton won four sets on the road against LV/Nebraska
Stanford won 0 

(at least that would be my reasoning)

Louisville and Nebraska swept Stanford. Creighton went 5 with Louisville and Nebraska.

Edit: LMAO, you're probably like "ok, damn, I get it. My bad."
