The AVCA week 8 poll is out:

www.avca.org/polls/beach.html?SPSID=621847&SPID=89595&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=14600

It looks fairly accurate for NCAA seeding, with one minor changes.

I think FSU should be #2 overall based on common opponents with Pepperdine #3.

Comparison of criteria FSU versus PEP:

Strength of Schedule = ?? Not calculated but close.

Head-to-Head competition = none

Results versus Common Opponents = edge to FSU (FSU better vs USC/UCLA, while PEP better vs Hawaii).

Overall W/L record (including significant wins & losses) = edge to FSU (better overall record and 5-1 against tourney field, PEP 5-3 vs field).

Even if PEP has a better SoS, FSU has the overall edge in criteria and should get #2 seed.
