MNVBCA Week 7 Poll

The Minnesota Volleyball Coaches Association (MNVBCA) rankings for week seven have few changes in the lower classes but another shakeup in the biggest schools class.

Maple Grove takes over the top spot in the highly competitive Class AAAA.  Previous #1 Lakeville South drops to #3, Eagan is now #2.

Four of the top eight teams are members of the South Suburban Conference.  In addition to Lakeville South and Eagan are, #6 Lakeville North, #8 Prior Lake.

Only the Top Ten in each class were available on the mnvbca,org website.  There were no also receiving votes or others on one ballot listed on the website.

Kenyon-Wanamingo remained at #8 in the Class A rankings behind Fillmore Central #4 and Mabel-Canton #6.

In the (QRF) Quality Results Formula from minnesota-scores.net the Knights are now #5 after losing last week to Triton.  Fillmore Central is #4, and Mabel-Canton #10 in Class A.

Other Gopher Conference rankings are #36 NRHEG, #82 Bethlehem Academy of Faribault, #104 United South Central, and #118 Hayfield.  147 teams are included.

It's fun to compare the MVCA Poll which is humans (approximately 16 people) choosing versus the computer results provided by minnesota-scores.net. based on scores, competition, and records only.
