We'll be adding a table on the DigNittany site comparing various weekly polls -- including the AVCA poll and the VolleyTalk poll (our own lionsfan is a voter, we believe, and Millennium has acknowledged being an alternate!). Hopefully, these two, and other posters on this forum, will chime in each week on what they think of the polls. Because, after all, it's not the B1G Championship, or the NCAA Championship, it's who ranks where in the AVCA poll or Pablo. Results are overrated
