Exploring the Polls: 11-18-13 (It’s Cold at the Top)

Polar Bears

Here’s DigNittany’s North Pole Poll (It’s Cold at the Top), in which we lift the AVCA poll votes of Russ Rose, John Dunning and Christy Johnson-Lynch (a link to all the votes can be found in the lower left-hand column of the AVCA poll page if you Click Here) and add the votes of our own lionsfan.

Texas still #1 and Washington edges out Penn State for the #2 slot, but the B1G still looking good, with two teams in our Top 10 (eight are in the AVCA Top-25!).  Christy Johnson-Lynch appears to like the B1G more than we do, with three B1G teams in her Top-10.
