Warriorfan — Gooden had Hawaii ranked in the prior week. So probably just an oversight. Not sticking up for him, but that appears to be what happened.

How can it be an oversight? Don’t the voters (I’d say coaches, but we all know some SID’s do it) just take the previous week’s poll and make adjustments based on the teams’ win/loss from the weekend?

If this Ray Gooden person has hawaii unranked next week I will send a not so nice email.

Good teams just win. Was impressed with Santa Clara and hope for their success this season as well as San Diego and of course our Wahine. We’ll see who comes out standing at the end of the season. Probably a lot of block voting by coaches from unheard of conferences who have no idea of what’s going on in the overall volleyball world.

Mick Haley is right, his team does not deserve to be #1. Is it a case of them being undefeated and so they are #1 by default? Show me some quality wins and maybe I’ll be convinced that they are the #1 team in the country.
San Diego deserves all the accolades that they get and being #9 on this list is very good, but a first place vote?!? C’mon….be realistic.

20. thank you. probably an oversight. I know that when I was voting on the Harris college football poll it had a built in alert if a team that was ranked in the Top 25 the previous week was missing off your ballot. so before you submitted your final vote, it questioned if you meant to leave so and so off. There was at least one time when I had just overlooked a team from the previous week.
But I get the feeling the AVCA doesn’t have that built into their system same group that I feel was remiss in not giving Shoji a courtesy call when he didn’t respond to an email request, asking if he wanted to vote this year. When he finally saw the email, he was 3 days late he says and was told too bad, you’ve been replaced by another Big West coach. this after being on the poll for some 30 years.

14. Ray Gooden, head coach of Northern Illinois Univ., left UH completely off his ballot. Perhaps an oversight…not like he is on the West Coast, but still unacceptable.
