Next Poll: January 15, 2008
** The AVCA does not recognize any rankings below 15 in the poll as it is not possible when voters only
select the top 15 teams and only teams with two or more votes are listed. It would be accurate and logical
to say "listed" instead of "ranked" in the poll for spots below 15.
