Week 6 VolleyTalk Top 20 Nominations

[Volleyfan024]

Week 5 in the books. Interesting week with teams dipping into their benches (UCSB) and a couple of injuries creating unexpected results (I'm looking at you John Kerr and Rottmans). 

Reminder. I will only be counting ballots with 20 teams listed. Again, please don’t be that guy. Also, please no ties. Flip a coin. Ask your child or pet. Ties only should occur once all ballots are compiled. You can decide who to put above other teams if you think they are even. 

Please have your ballots in by Tuesday (2/6/2024), noon PST. I will have the poll out by Wednesday morning.
