I saw that earlier in the week. It is way too early to even speculate about that. There is still a ton of soccer to be played. When the ACC teams start beating up on each other, at least 1 or 2 of them will drop. Zips just have to keep winning one game at a time and they will be well positioned ...come tournament time.

I learned a great deal that I did not know. I am not holding my breath ....waiting for Elton Alexander of the PD...to write an article about the zips

Are any of the players mentioned in this article on the zips recruiting radar?

http://www.nscaa.com/rankings/4607/NCAADivisionI/men/Poll7Akron moved up two spots in the coaches poll...as a result of Coastal Carolina losing to UNC-Asheville and Notre Dame tieing Michigan. Just keeping winning, zips!!! Wake forest hosts N. Carolina on the 17th and Notre Dame on the 23rd

http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpiteams that moved 2 or more spots from last week zips moved from #5 up to #3 Maryland was not in the top 45 last week....#25 this week Ohio State #45 last week...#22 this week Georgetown moved from #11 to #6 Denver went from #12 to #8 Boston College jumped from #20 to #9 Coastal Carolina dropped from #7 to #15 Creighton went from #8 to #10 Syracuse dropped from #9 to #12 Stanford climbed from #17 to #11 Cal Santa Barbara was #16 last week...#13 this week seattle #10 last week...#14 this week Hofstra #14 last week...#20 this week South carolina #13 last week; #17 this week Elon #18 last week; #23 this week Butler dropped from #22 down to #36 and the Hoosiers were #24 last week....#37 this week William and Mary was #23 last week....dropped all the way to 58....Bill and Mary tied UNC early this year...they are the only blemish on UNC's 10-0-1 record Hopefully, UCLA can start a win streak and be in the top 25 when they come to Akron (#41 now)

on Sunday afternoon, 3-5-1 UNC Asheville defeated Coastal Carolina (were 7-0-1 coming into the game) 3-2

http://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI%20Rankafter saturday's matches, gaucho dan has the zips moving up from #5 to #3 Ohio state moved from 32 to 22 with a win over indiana...so maybe akron moved up due to bonus points for a top 25 tie?....wish I understood the RPI better

Matt Foldesey given a yellow card at 96;59. Ohio State scores on a penalty kick at 97:05 to win 1-0 at Indiana. Ohio State and Indiana were 32 and 33 in RPI before tonight

Ohio State and Indiana 0-0 after 90 minutes hoosiers lead 19-4 in shots and 8-1 in shots on goal matt foldesey has played 80 minutes and phil fives has played 72 minutes in games involving top 10 rpi teams. notre dame 3 duke 2 in 1 OT ; UNC 2 Syracuse 1 ; s. florida 3 cincinnati 0 creighton leads st. john 1-0 at half....

http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2015/10/09/state-of-the-timbers-the-fans-are-still-kinganother interesting article about Caleb and the Timbers

http://www.wgrz.com/story/news/2015/10/09/wgrz-soccer-refugee/73704550/nice news broadcast(about a 2 minute video)

moving on to saturday games...Georgetown moved from 7 to 6 in the rpi with a 2-0 win over Butler (43 in the rpi) Georgetown next plays Marquette, Depaul, St. Johns , Seton Hall and Villanova before ending with Creighton (Villanova is 59 in rpi and Marquette is 80)...so they will have trouble earning strength of schedule points before the Creighton match

http://soccer.buffalonews.com/2015/10/09/ub-bulls-fall-to-no-8-akron-in-gut-wrenching-fashion/buffalo coach not happy with the call the buffalo news writer twitter account...was bashing the zips all night example : Cicerone gets hit by vicious elbow to the head by Akron's Andrew Souders. Should have been straight red, was just yellow.

with teams packing it in, the zips will be taking a lot of penalty kicks due to fouls in the box... going to have to do better than 1 out of 3....that they have done in the last 2 games very happy for Victor.....that he came thru huge late in the game

W. Virginia just defeated western Michigan 1-0 clemson with a 4-2 win over Louisville...tough season for Ken Lolla

what happened to result in Richie getting a yellow card?

http://www.oregonlive.com/timbers/index.ssf/2015/10/rumors_could_caleb_porter_be_h.htmlsounds like this shep messing.....is a low class rumor mongerer

GOAL Captain Ruhaak at 44 minutes

13 shots to 2 with 3 minutes left in first half but they are down 1-0....due to being unable to control long diagonal ball....which resulted in a penalty kick have to get better at balls in the air

I don't claim to be an expert on RPI....but I think that the Gaucho expert says you get bonus points for wins and ties against teams in the top 25 and top 50 so it is to Akron's benefit that Ohio State stay in the top 50 for RPI. Unless BG puts on a late season run, they will probably not end up in the top 50.
