Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Could you imagine a #5 ranked basketball team from ANY conference getting a 4 seed?
BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Well I guess our best wins were against #5 PSU and #19 OSU on the road. Both of their rankings have fallen since we played them.

We were ranked #16 this week. SD has an impressive resume beating UCLA and Stanford this year.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
I can't imagine we would be a 4-seed. We are top 5 in both the RPI and rankings. The RPI will drop after St. Mary's, Pacific and Gonzaga, but we should still be really high. I would think we'd at least go in as a 2-seed.BlueK wrote:This is the only site I've seen that puts out a projection for NCAA tournament. It has BYU with a 4 seed. That would give us the first game at home and the second on a neutral field. I actually think BYU will get in on a 3, maybe a 2 if lucky. We do have several top 50 wins and our three best wins all came on the road.

By the way, we beat Pacific today 4-0 on goals by Hatch, Bailey-Topham (her first career goal), Loomis (her second career goal) and Vasconcelos. Real barn burner of a game.
UPDATE: The goal previously credited to Topham was changed to Calton-Walker.

LMU just beat Pepperdine 1-0! As long as we beat Gonzaga this week, we win a share of the conference title. Five in a row.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Hmmm. Hadn't thought about that. It very well could. Of course, we beat LMU, so hopefully not much. I think I'm more worried about how playing St. Mary's, Pacific and Gonzaga will hurt it, even by winning.scott715 wrote:YES!!!
But will this hurt our rpi?
Of course, Pepperdine beat us, so they still will have the automatic bid to the Tournament, but we are a lock to get in and be a much higher seed.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
That's a good point, and like I said, this is the only bracketology there is for women's soccer. I tend to think BYU gets better than a 4, but I haven't looked closely at the resumes of every other team contending for a high seed.SpiffCoug wrote:Could you imagine a #5 ranked basketball team from ANY conference getting a 4 seed?
One thing that will help: Pepperdine lost to LMU so as long as BYU beats Gonzaga they will once again get a piece of the WCC title. NCAA selection committees tend to give extra credit for winning a conference regular season championship.
