West Virginia improves to 2-1-1 in the league.....with a 2-1 win at home over Georgia State

WVA, BGSU and Akron are all tied for 2nd in the league.....with 7 points  (2-1-1 record)

 

Georgia State drops to 2-3 in the league....(their remaining game is against Georgia Southern)

GA State can only reach 9 points and is probably the team (of the top 5) most at risk of not being one of the 4 teams in the semis

Western Michigan is 1-3 ....so they could reach 9 points if they win at BG and win at home against Akron

 

NIU is the only team that has clinched a spot in the semis.....with 11 points as GA State and GA Southern and WMU can't get to 11

WVA can clinch a spot in the semis with a win sunday at GA Southern (that would give them 10 points)....they end the season hosting BG on Nov. 4

a loss to Southern and a win over BG would also get them to the semis

 

BGSU can clinch a spot in the semis with a win at home against WMU

a loss to WMU and a win at WVU would also get them in the semis

 

finally, AKRON......a win in either of last 2 games...gets them in the semis

Saturday at NIU ...Nov. 4 at WMU

 

IF BGSU and AKRON both win their last 2 games...Akron would host tourney...based on 5-1 head to head win

 

if it is AKRON and WVU at 4-1-1....I do not know

Just win, zips !!!

PSU downs Michigan in Big Ten semis, 2-0

 

IU over NWU in the other semi, 1-0 OT

 

Both good results for Akron!

Unfortunately, Notre Dame just scored twice within 14 seconds and they lead Pitt 2-0 at 79 minutes

 

Pitt has had the majority of possession.   At one point, Pitt lead 14 to 1 in corner kicks

And in the other ACC semi, Clemson totally dominates Duke, outshooting them  27-4 (!) , 6-1 SOG, 10-3 corners ... and loses 0-1.

 

My theory is that the reason that soccer is so popluar in the third world is that it illustrates the fundamental unfairness of life.

 

Duke moving up to #3 in RPI drops Pitt down to #5.

In a result...that hurts a bubble team...Charlotte had a bad loss last night

Charlotte from conference USA...was 31 in RPI at the beginning of the week

Charlotte lost on PK's last night in conference USA quarters to Florida Atlantic

Florida Atlantic is a lowly 102 in RPI after the win

Charlotte dropped to 35 in RPI after the loss

Irrelevant. Charlotte is not competitive with Akron for a bid. (And a shoot-out counts as a draw for each team for RPI purposes.)
