As with football and basketball polls, you can track the individual voter’s ballot each week and through history. Shondell himself says there is a top 5 and then you can throw the next 15 in a basket and pull them out in any order.
week 4 rankings moved us from 10 to 11 after two sweeps of marginal opponents. The spread in the rankings is impressive.

also interesting to note that through the first 4 weeks, boilers have received a total of 18 top five votes 0/0/3/8/7.
season is early and conference play is just set to begin. It is not unusual or extraordinary for voters to be unsure about a team with this many untested pieces. Also, in VB is seems that teams are not penalized at all for playing top competition. Stanford has lost 3 matches but 6/8 were against top 20 teams and 7/8 against likely ncaa qualifiers. ohio state has played all their matches against likely ncaa qualifiers and 7/8 against ranked teams, losing 4.
RPI is not out yet and is the only thing that matters in tournament seeding.
