ZipsVoice Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Finish things off at home next week and weekend....then March on to Kalamazoo.

Z.I.P. Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Noticed we used 21 players tonight. Is that the whole bench? And doesn't the MAC have a road travel limit? The Big West, e.g. has a limit of I think 19. Where's Gaucho Dan? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are conceivable if not likely scenarios where Zips get two NCAA matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 So....For you experts on MAC Soccer.....When the heck was the last time that Akron did NOT host the MAC Tournament? No chance we can still host? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we can still host? Last time the Zips were not the regular-season Mac Champs was in 2004. WMU was the regular-season champion that year as the Zips also lost a 1-0 game to them (but beat them 6 to 1 in the championship game at Kalamazoo we can only hope history repeats itself). Zips could still win the MAC but we'll have to beat NIU and have WMU lose and tie at best against SIU tomorrow and BGSU next week. If WMU beats SIU tomorrow the regular-season championship goes to WMU no matter what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBZipfan Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) If the Zips win out, they should easily be a top-16 seeded team in the NCAAs. Edited October 28, 2017 by MarkS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I can't find the MAC soccer tie breaking procedures. What happens if SIUE, Akron, and WMU end the regular season in a 3-way tie at 4-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted October 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 zips move up to 10 in the rpi after last night Pitt probably won't make the NCAA as they dropped to 8-9 last night as Va Tech crushed them 3-0 UNC, #1 in RPI beat Notre Dame 3-0 Syracuse, another former zip opponent, was 0-6-1 in ACC before last night...they are now 0-6-2 after tieing Wake Forest 0-0 (Wake is #2 in RPI and had been 7-0-0 in ACC) ken Lolla's Louisville team is now #4 in RPI after a 2-1 win over Clemson. Clemson is 4-4 in the ACC...but they are #6 in the nation in RPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. I wish Kentucky would return to the MAC. That could easily happen, you know. How is it that in 2006, a 13-5-1 record was not good enough for an AL NCAA berth?

RPI is an anachronistic and deeply flawed system. http://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/2017-rpi-calculations.2068278/ I am reminded by Gaucho Dan that the bonus system for RPI changes from year to year. Example: In some years a home draw against a top 30 opponent is worth more than in other years. In some years a home loss versus an opponent outside the top 50 is a 5 point penalty. In other years, it is only a 3 point penalty. Etc. And the NCAA does not publish their formula. How corrupt is that? Gaucho Dan takes the NCAA RPI results and deduces their formula for that given year. He cracks their code every year. So, when you see 5 teams from ACC in the top 10 RPI, you needn't scratch your head. It is that way because it is supposed to be that way.

And I also really overlooked the fact that the Zips did not win the MAC regular-season title in Caleb Porter's first year in 2006 so that was the last time the Zips didn't host not 2004. That's what I get for trying to do it on my phone ? Edited October 28, 2017 by MDZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives some interesting history of the evolution of MAC men's soccer and the teams that have dropped out over time. For example, Central Michigan quit in '95; Miami in '99; EMU after that '99 season. Did you know that Bob Bradley once coached at Ohio U? He coached their club team while studying for his Masters in Athletic Admin. in the late 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
