The AVCA poll (Division I coaches) just came out. Stanford at #15.

Georgia Tech at #13. They have one really strong hitter and an average team supporting her. I expect them to trip up later this season.
Penn State at #14. They have two very tough matches this weekend on the road and could very easily go 0-2.
Of course the AVCA poll is mostly for fans to argue about and not worth much else. Some of the coaches' votes make it clear they either have an agenda or don't look at all the results.
For RPI, Stanford is at a cross-roads. I'm hoping for at least one win this coming weekend. Two wins and I'd feel pretty good about a top 16 seed.
