malonepioneer12 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 The good news unless I am wrong is if Akron can play and win this they will get many RPI points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Just have to take it one game at a time and not look ahead of the next opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 current top 16 RPI shown below... top 4 are ACC teams 6,9 and 11 are ACC teams WMU is 7... Akron is 10... Akron needs to go one game at a time.. with the ultimate goal of beating WMU on their own field in the conference title game. 4 straight wins........and Akron has possibility of top 8 seed and 2 home NCAA games... akron really needs Notre Dame and virginia both to lose early in the ACC tourney Ben is back healthy...Sam is back healthy...Joao and Strachan continue to get better and better.... This team has come a long way from the UVU and Denver trip.

zippyfan34 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 So with no lights on WMU's field and with Daylight Savings this weekend, when do we expect games to be played next Friday? Maybe 11 and 1:30? Do you think we would play in the first or second game? They need to leave enough time in case one or both games go to OT/PK's. Just trying to plan some "work" meetings so I can watch it at the office. I am hoping WMU will announce specifics on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't say for sure, but that's a good guess/reasoning as to start times, given the return to standard time, unless the MAC makes WMU bring in light trucks or move to an alternate field that has lights such as Kalamazoo College. As far as 1st or 2nd game, usually 2v3 is the first game and 1v4 is the 2nd, but that's when the 2nd game is scheduled in "prime time"...a time which allows folks to attend after work.

ZipsVoice Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 And also going from past MACs at Cub Cadet, the second match scheduled first touch has been 3 hours after the first match’s... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyYo Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 My question is...If WMU loses their last coference game and Akron wins, giving them the same record, are we Regular season co-champs and get to claim a conference championship?

I wouldn't think so. They beat us head-to-head giving them the tie breaker. If the shoe were on the other foot, I wouldn't want to be co-champs. We'd have earned the MACC outright as they did. I don't see them beating us twice in one season though. They can have the regular season. The MAC Tournament and NCAAT seeding are much more important. We are hot at the right time of the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
