In avca coaches preseason poll. That is impressive for a team that didn't get out of the first round of the ncaa tourney last year. Coaches know we have a good team this year and if we stay healthy, we can be very, very good in November.

Unofficially #28 - 3 spots off an official ranking.

That said, 24 of 25 teams that ended 2016 ranked are ranked in the 2017 preseason poll. That's a good indication of nobody doing any homework any just filling in recognizable teams. It's literally as if nobody in college volleyball graduated last season and UDs entire returning roster is not in any way an exception.

First, this is a valid point. Second, tough to do too much when all the voters are head coaches and preparing their own programs.

Also, I think TH is a voter this year. I'll have to research who is voting this year before the season starts.

Well the avca doesn't publish the weekly ballots until the first week of the season poll leaving me to agree with Chris even more strongly that the preseason poll is pretty much an exercise in pulling out the last poll last year and making a couple adjustment IF you know any player movements, departures or additions.

The avca started publishing ballots a couple years ago to hopefully stop coaches from just mailing it in week after week if they got too busy and didn't spend time casting a vote representative of what happened that week. In some cases assistants (or worse) were filling out ballots. I think it was a good move.
