Old Dominion has really faded down the stretch. They could be on the bubble for the NCAA. ODU is 34 in RPI and they play Fla. International(FIU) in a 4-5 matchup with the winner facing Kentucky. FIU is 32 in the RPI. I would be surprised if the NCAA took 5 teams in that league. the amazing part about Akron's RPI this year....is the fact that so many teams on their schedule have had down years this year. At the beginning of the year, I would have looked at Akron's schedule and said there is not a sub .500 team on the non conference schedule. our former asst.(now head coach at VCU)....has had a tough year. VCU is 5-9-4 and is 106 in the RPI Mike Getman at UAB is an outstanding coach...but UAB is 5-11 and they are 113 in RPI even Penn State (7-8-3) and Michigan State (8-9-2) finished below .500 St. Louis was top 25 at the beginning of the year but is #75 now with a 8-6-2 record Coach Embick and his coaching staff really put together a great schedule.

http://www.nscaa.com/rankings/4929/NCAADivisionI/men/Poll11zips stay at #10 in the soccer coaches poll....and Georgetown moves all the way up to #3 normally, the zips are higher in the soccer coaches poll...than they are in the RPI.....this year has been unusual. Denver is the team this year....much lower in the RPI

The NCAA Tournament field, the seeds, and the brackets will be announced on November 16, 2015 at 1 p.m.normally, they do the announcement around 5 or 5:30....article in college soccer news ....says that the field will be announced next Monday at 1 (I assume that is eastern time??)

I would hope someone on Mr. Williams's staff is contacting the Beacon and elton Alexander at the PD every day this week....to get articles written in both papers before the MAC tournament starts. This team has really worked hard and has played a killer schedule. They deserve the support of the university to get the word out about their fantastic achievements.

zips were #5 last week ; they are #3 this week http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpihas there ever been a team in the top 25 for RPI...that has not made the NCAA tourney ? (Louisville could do it this year) Western Michigan is up to #56 in the RPI will be interesting to see where the NCAA seeds Denver (the only team without a loss)...Denver is #18 in the RPI

David Suntup on the video said that Embick told him...that he was letting Danilo Radjen recover from an unspecified injury for one more game and that Danilo would be ready for the MAC tourney. That being said, I was very glad to see Coach Embick give Alonzo Clarke the opportunity as a center back. For whatever reason, Brad and Andrew have not clicked this year as center backs. Andrew has really done well on the outside ....shutting down the outside forwards and he has done well on the offensive side. I also was quite impressed with how well that Alonzo Clarke played. I think that he is going to be a major contributor for the zips. Stuart Holthusen was one of the few bright spots in the UCLA game as he stepped up in Richie's absence and he seemed to carry his confidence forward into the BG game. Like many others on this board, I am so happy with the tremendous strides that Victor Souto has made this year. Victor's passion and will to win is unmatched. He plays an unsung position but his value to the team can not be understated. I hope that Victor can help share some of the many things that he has learned with Richie Laryea to help Richie stay yellow card free....the remainder of the year

Who do you have as the #3 seed? Stanford? Stanford could easily lose to Cal this week (Cal has a win over Washington, and the huskies defeated Stanford; and Cal has a win over UCLA). Still lots of soccer to be played this week. If Notre Dame and Syracuse upset Wake and Clemson, the NCAA seeding committee will have a really tough time. If Creighton comes back and beats Georgetown this week, who knows where Creighton will end up. There is tremendous parity this year in college soccer. I would like to see Maryland win the big ten and Georgetown win the Big East as those will help the zips case for seeding.

Gaucho Dan has the zips moving up to #3 in the rpi with N. Carolina being eliminated from the ACC tourney Maryland moved up to 28 to 23...with their win today...so that helped the zips with top 25 bonue points RPI SCHOOL W L D SOS OSS 3 1 Wake Forest 15 1 2 2 1 4 2 Clemson 15 1 2 8 2 5 3 Akron 13 3 2 12 25 6 4 North Carolina 14 1 3 19 3 7 5 Stanford 13 2 2 54 9 8 6 Georgetown 13 2 2 22 16 9 7 Notre Dame 10 3 5 6 5 10 8 Seattle 16 3 0 51 62 11 9 Creighton 16 2 0 85 45 12 10 Syracuse 11 5 3 5 10 13 11 Ohio State 11 5 2 13 31

wow......you are challenging my google search skills looks like Zach won first place in the 6th grade turkey trot (bottom of page 2 ) in October 2014 so I am guessing he is 13 now and in 7th grade http://www.smfschools.org/application/files/8714/3930/2047/Chew_on_this_October_2014.pdf

http://medinagazette.northcoastnow.com/2015/03/18/johnny-futbol/This young man from Medina sounds like he will be playing in Europe and then hopefully he will help the US Mens National team down the road. The article above is from March 2015. If he decides to go to college, I would imagine that he would be a "perry kitchen" type.

Gaucho Dan is amazing.... he has Georgetown moving up to #6.....after their win today (Akron is still at #4 and Stanford is still at #5) Gaucho Dan has Creighton dropping to #8 in the RPI unrelated....we all remember Akron playing Marquette in 2013....Marquette has fallen on hard soccer times... Marquette lost today to DePaul and Marquette is 5-10-2 this year

Final from Thursday afternoon Georgetown (#6 in coaches poll) 2 Creighton(#3 in coaches poll) 1 Gaucho Dan had Creighton at #6 in RPI and he had Georgetown at #10 in the RPI before the game will be interesting to see where he has them....after he adds in this result..... Creighton clearly does not deserve to be one of the top 4 teams when the NCAA does the draw akron winning at Georgetown and Creighton losing at Georgetown.....should factor heavily in the NCAA seeding committee decision

good article from sports illustated http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2015/11/04/darlington-nagbe-portland-timbers-mls-playoffs-usmnt-caleb-porter

If Georgetown loses twice to Creighton, even if the NCAA would not have the gall to seed Georgetown ahead of Akron (with Akron having a head to head win on G'Town's home field). That being said, the zips need to put up wins over Bowling Green , West Virginia and an excellent Western Michigan team before we can even consider NCAA seedings. Hopefully, Richie and Danilo Radjen are back on the field for the BG game.
