I did not post anything inflammatory, most of it was praise and admiration to the Wahine Volleyball Program and Dave Shoji. I guess I am not part of your small volleyball “circle”. Too bad…

They are 4-0. was incorrect in writing above that they only played the Canadian national team (twice, won both in four) last week
Huskies also played a home match with Seattle, won it 14, 10, 15
Huskies opened the season 3-0. playing all the way down in Portland.
they sweep Boise State 18 16 16
they sweep Portand State 22, 17, 10
then have to hold off power Gonzaga, 25-18, 25-21, 26-28, 30-32, 15-9.
At that point, Washington stays at No. 5, its preseason ranking

As for the New No. 1 USC .. even Haley said they didn’t deserve to be there because he had played no one.
True they are 6-0, all on the road but really? Purdue, Western Kentucky, Alabama A&M gives USC a No. 3 ranking after the first week, Last week, they beat TCU, Marquette, Northern Illinois (the latter a big hmmmmm since he’s the voter who didn’t have UH in the poll this week).

They could have moved up mathematically based on getting some points instead of not getting any from the guy who left UH off the ballot.
There was a 19 point difference between USD (1042) and UH (1023).
based on the guy’s voting from the previous week, from what i’ve been told, he had UH at 12, which is worth 49 points (a vote for first place = 60 points, vote for No. 2 = 59, etc.
If he voted them No. 12 again 49 points would have given UH 1072. putting them ahead of USD but not over No. 8 Stanford (1097)

As for your statement that ‘other teams beat higher teams on the road, not seeing it … then No. 6 Texas was home when beating both No. 2 Stanford and No. 1 Penn State. Penn State sweeps Florida (neutral) No. 8 Florida beats No. 2 Stanford (neutral) in four.

So let’s take a look at Stanford, who lost twice on the road to lower ranked teams: Cardinal No. 2 going into the week. they lose 3-1 at Texas, then ranked No. 6, and they lose 3-1 to Florida, at the time ranked No. 8, neutral site.
Washington plays the Canadian national team last week. they move down from 5 to 6 only because Florida, who beat Stanford, jumps over them from 8 to 5.

however, even a first place vote would not have moved UH above Stanford. but would have kept UH at 9

41. as you should be.

Actually, I don’t think the AVCA poll matters at all, at least not in UH’s case. The poll is good for fan debate, but unless the RPI is top 12 or so (to make it difficult for the committee to deny UH a seed), this is all moot. Even then, I doubt the committee would use the poll if UH was top 12. But that is my bias. I am cynical when it comes to the VB seeding committee.
