Super psyched about the game! Anyone have a free online link? Marylander here without cable and hope I am not relegated to only listening to Frenchy over iHeart.

That is an impressive amount of data! Too bad DiG isn't into men's soccer so much. He'd be licking his chops!

I like this match-up. Rutgers has a decent soccer tradition and is a fairly well-recognized name. Anytime we can play at home against a B1G team, it is good for the program. As others have mentioned, having just played in OT in poor weather, going on the road will be a tough turn around for Rutgers. Rutgers will be respectable and will likely keep it close, but I think we win.

We beat 3 of the top 16 teams on the road this season, tied one, and lost to the #1. We beat the B1G and Big East Champions. Pretty impressive. I have a good feeling about this team and the outcome of the season.

A justified seed, and some interesting opponents in our region!...UNC could be playing in Akron in December...what a dream! Looks like the committee got most of the seeds and the bracket as a whole fairly distributed. Creighton paid the price for a weak schedule...that could be a nice pay back game for them knocking us out a few years back when one of our defenders slipped and gave an easy chance for the tying goal.

I can't view/hear/read it. Would someone mind please sharing? What seed? Who do we play the winner of? Who else formidable is in our regional?

What happened?

Is it playing for anyone else?

Anyone have a link to a live bracket that updates when teams are announced or do I have to wait for a gozips release or a complete bracket posting?

The wins against Georgetown, Maryland, and UCSB on the road and St. Louis, Santa Clara, Penn State, and Michigan State at home are all very strong. The losses (ODU, Wake Forest, and UCLA) and tie against OSU are acceptable. The only red mark is the tie against Western Michigan. Our RPI is #5, and all rankings have us in the top 10. Anything less than a 5-8 seed is robbery. A 4 seed is justifiable, but given the committee's history with us, it would be unprecedented. I see a 7 seed and two home games in our future.

27-7...barring some major errors in the second half, that should be the ball game. No way a team like Miami comes back against our defense. It is nice to see that we will be back to .500 late in the season. For all the complaining about Bowden, this program is light years ahead of where it was after the Pigskin Holocaust. There is a big difference between 7-5 and 5-7, and this season could still go either way. To this point though, I am satisfied.

Two more wins and I think we will be awarded the #5 seed. Even though they didnt advance far in the ACC Tourney, I see a one loss UNC team with a #5 RPI getting the #4 seed over us. Definitely not fair, but it is what I have come to expect. A loss or maybe even a tie without winning the MACC and I think we are on the outside looking in at the top eight seeds. Play our game and WVU should definitely be a win; however, WVU playing 10 or 11 behind the ball will be difficult to defeat.

Quite literally for the record, according to the NCAA a game that ends OT is officially a tie with the PK "winner" simply earning the right to advance. Hence, we lost the 2009 NCAA Championship by a tie.

If we had won out, I think it would have happened. If we lose again, I think a Top 8 seed is at risk. Even a tie against remaining MAC competition is pushing the limits for a Top 8 seed, commensurate RPI or not.

I agree, especially given the committee's biased history against us. Look out if ND makes the semi-finals of the ACC Tournament. I could see ACC teams getting all four of the top seeds.

I love this match-up...UCLA's willingness to come to Akron late in the season is awesome. Kudos to the coaching staff for scheduling UCLS as well. Always great to play a big name opponent with tradition and success at home...this is exactly what we hope for with OOC football and basketball schedules but don't get. It's tough to see us concede goals immediately after starting or ending a half or after scoring ourselves. This never happened with Porter's team, and is likely the greatest difference between the two coaching eras. Let's hope the Zips win the second half by at least one goal.

Why would we appeal? I know the UCLA game is important for seeding, but it's better that he sits out now and resets the accumulation total rather than carrying on with four and having to sit out a MAC or NCAA Tournament game. Hopefully his sitting will also serve the purpose of deterring future yellow cards, especially those due to poor decision making. Don't get a couple stupid yellow cards earlier in the season and one unjust one at the end is irrelevant. Lesson learned?

Not very good possession, but we played mistake free and took advantage of the few opportunities we had, which is significant being on the road in poor conditions. I'll take it. On to UCLA.

Good video and decent commentators. Kudos to WVU. We need an insurance goal!!!

We are fortunate to have the only two truly difficult remaining matches in Michigan State and UCLA at home. All the tough road games to start the season could have been disastrous, but I think it has been a major factor in determining the potential of this season.

The losses accumulated by ACC teams against one another will be offset by our wins against much lower RPI teams in the MAC. It's nearly a wash. Sure, lots of soccer yet to be played, but it would not surprise me to see things at the end of the season similar to how they are projected here.

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/articles/836-csn-s-bracketologist-issues-first-projections-of-the-2015-ncaa-tournament-field We are currently projected as the #3 seed. I'd love to get OSU at home again; they won't get lucky again and can't beat us with our improved line-up. If we win out, I think we at least get a top for seeding, which is all that matters.

Downloading it now. Otherwise, I am relegated to following via gametracker and watching Wake vs. South Carolina on ESPN3.

A penalty kick in the same minute for each team?

This should be an interesting and unique match-up. Anyone know why my video feed might not be working? I am using Firefox 41.0.1 and my Flash player is updated. Is anyone able to watch online? If so, what software are you running?
