In this weeks updated men’s AVCA Division I-II Coaches Poll, only two changes were made. The top-five teams remain the same with Ohio State keeping hold of all 24 first place votes and an unblemished record.
UC Irvine takes a step forward after a pair of five set victories this week from #7 to #6, surpassing a struggling UCLA team who falls to #7 in this weeks poll. The only other change of the week comes with Ball State moving up one position to #11 over now-#12 CSUN. Ball State won both of their matches this week, while CSUN split, dropping a match to #14 USC and sweeping Cal Baptist.
