Poll Criteria

NEWVA's Regional Poll is conducted by the NEWVA Poll Committee. The committee is comprised of representatives from each of the conferences in New England. The poll is based up all results through the previous Sunday. In order for a team to be eligible, the team's coach must be a paid and registered member of NEWVA. The top 15 teams are selected based upon:

1. .500 New England (NE) Region Record or Better – To be considered for the NEWVA Poll, a team must have at least a .500 record vs. teams within New England. If a teams overall record is below .500 and their NE Region record is .500 or better, they can be considered.
2. Strength of Schedule – Those programs that are playing a more competitive schedule (schedules with ranked teams/playing teams formerly ranked). More consideration will be given for teams who post wins over opponents who have been ranked in the NEWVA Poll 2 times or more.
3. Head to Head Competition
4. Record vs. Common Opponents – Comparing wins and losses of teams who have played vs. common opponents

* The NEWVA Regional Poll is not connected with the NCAA's Regional Poll or the AVCA National Poll. All of these polls use different criteria and are voted on by different committees. Accordingly, rankings may not be consistent from one poll to another.
