4 Stanford
4/19 vs. #6 UC Irvine 169 17-11 10

Stanford went from #10 to #4 in one week! That must be the biggest upset in AVCA ranking in years.

Best of success in next Saturday.

GO CARDINAL!

I assume that many coaches ranked the teams according to how they finished in conference...which might explain the big jump... Plus they kicked the @#!$ out of my tigers who were previously #4 and played poorly all week. They deserve the #4 with their late season surge.

It's amazing how the poll was "crafted" to look a lot more like the seedings in the MPSF tournament!!! Hmmmm, very interesting, and suspicious!
