VolleyTalk Week 8 Top 20 Poll Nominations

[Volleyfan024]

Week 7 is in the books as soon as the UCI/Stanford match ends. I don’t know about you guys but I saw some more statements made this weekend.

Please rank 20 NCAA D1/D2 teams with no ties (ties will be broken or made by the voters as a whole).

With no matches on Sunday please have your ballots in by Monday (2/12) 10:00pm PST. I will have the poll out by Tuesday morning.

This is getting harder each week. After the top 10-12, I felt like I was throwing darts. So much head-to-head-to-head-to-head wins and losses, and losses to unranked teams. Only if there was some type of model that took recency bias and historical bias out of the equation?!?!
