fknbuflobo Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 http://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/2018 Gaucho Dan's RPI calculation is more accurate than any other. As repeated annually, NCAA tournament seeding is 95% RPI. http://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/rpi-update-is-updated-for-2018.2085750/#post-37014487 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Zip_ME87...thanks for taking the time...to look up the RPI ranks... the Syracuse game is going to be huge for the zips... Syracuse....plays Va. Tech (#9 RPI) on Friday night before playing the zips If Syracuse beats VA Tech on Friday...., they will be even higher in the RPI. After playing the zips, syracuse next plays Wake Forest... Zips really can move up with a good result against syracuse...I am surprised that Syracuse-VA Tech is not listed in article below (the rankings shown are top drawer poll rankings...not rpi) the surprise team of the MAC is listed in article below... https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-weekend-preview:-sept-28-30_aid44996 No. 24 Northern Illinois (7-2) at No. 11 Portland, 10 p.m. (wccsports.com) One of the breakout teams of the current season, NIU has already well-exceeded last fall’s win total of three. Timely goals have been a big part of the team’s record to this point, with Jan Maertins and Anthony Markanich each snagging two game winners apiece. A trip to the Pacific Northwest for a Friday night clash against the Pilots is a massive test of NIU’s staying power. Benji Michel’s profile and potential pro prospects are growing leading the line for Portland. He has eight goals in nine games, including five winners – it’s difficult to understate his importance to the team. Senior Kienan Weekes' contributions between the posts, in his first season as a starter, have also been important. Prediction: Portland 2-0 Northern Illinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBZipfan Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 It's been a good year for the MAC against outside competition: the MAC has the 3rd best conference RPI (out of 24 conferences total), behind only the ACC (way ahead of everyone else) and the Pac-12: http://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/Conference RPI Rank 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBZipfan Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Zips have a decent chance of getting a seed and a first round bye, but Denver and Syracuse have good cases also. My guess is that Akron will be left outside the top 16, but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPI is #14 and SOS is #10. 10 wins total with 4 Top50 wins. Plenty of pedigree in the past decade. I say Zips get one of the last 4 seeds and do not play until weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are corrected about getting a seed. You are definitely on the money about them peaking at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
