TennZip Posted November 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I had not looked at conference RPI rankings recently....MAC is pretty strong of course, they were super strong last year....and the NCAA screwed West Virginia last year and gave Charlotte an at large bid (even though West Virginia had defeated conference USA champ Marshall...and WVU had also defeated Charlotte 3-0 in regular season RankNCAA Division I Men's SoccerRPI 1Pac-12 Conference.5855 2Atlantic Coast Conference.5791 3Big East Conference.5594 4Mid-American Conference.5501 5Big Ten Conference.5455 6American Athletic Conference.5296 7Conference USA.5295 8Colonial Athletic Association.5252 9America East Conference.5003 10West Coast Conference.4985 11Atlantic 10 Conference.4953 12Ivy League.4944 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBZipfan Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 IMO, the Zips are a lock for a bid. Going strictly by RPI, the last-in team right now would be #38. And I believe there are now only 4 conferences (Missouri Valley, Atlantic 10, Colonial, Conf USA) in which a below 38 RPI team could still bump a team with a higher RPI than Akron. If all 4 have upset winners, the last-in team is #34. And Akron will end up in the mid-20s. So the committee would have to pull 10 or so teams with RPIs below #34 and put them in above #25ish Akron. And there just aren't ten teams with RPI below #34 that look better than Akron. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one will have different opinions. I am strongly rooting for NIU to win the final. IF GSU wins, I think that NIU will still get an at large bid....as they were regular season champs....and would have lost in the conference tournament finals. As of this morning, West Virginia is 19 in RPI and Akron is 26. If GSU wins and if NIU gets an at large bid, the MAC would need to have 4 teams in the tourney for both Akron and West Virginia to get in. If GSU loses, I do not think that they will get in the tourney. We have all seen in past years...how the committee loves the power 5 conferences I am fully confident that the committee will give 7 at large bids to the ACC and 4 at large bids to the Big East ACC - 1. Duke/Notre Dame loser other 6 -5) Pitt ; 7) Clemson ; 20) N. Carolina ; 22) VA Tech ; 31) Louisville ; 32) Wake Forest Big East - Georgetown/Providence loser other 3 -23) Creighton ; #28 ) Villanova ; #29 St. Johns committee last year screwed west virginia and took Charlotte from Conference USA hopefully, Kentucky can beat the upset kid...Florida Atlantic if they do, I still think that the committee will give 3 at large bids to conference USA 16) Marshall ; #18) FIU ; #33) Charlotte if the committee....shows their usual love for ACC, Big East and conference USA...that accounts for 14 of the 25 at large bids (assumes Kentucky wins) that leaves 11 bids contenders for those 11 bids PAC 12 - #2 Washington ; #24 UCLA Big Ten - Penn State/Indiana loser and #21 Maryland ...will the power 5 loving committee show any love to #38 Michigan MAC - GSU/NIU loser ; #19 WVA ; #26 Akron west coast conference - #30 Portland ; #35 Loyola Marymount if we exclude Michigan and worst case....there are 7 upsets....there are 9 good teams competing for 4 at large spots I feel good about zips chances....if there are no upsets...if there are 4 or 5 or 6 upsets, I just do not trust the NCAA committee other teams ...that do not deserve bid....but a few years ago...the committee gave #44 NC State a bid...and screwed several teams in low 30's #40 Rhode Island #41 Northeastern #42 Central Arkansas #43 Cornell #45 VCU #46 Stanford 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you cross-referenced those final 6 teams above with their SOSs, the committee could find some way to move the beloved Stanford Cardinal into shooting range of an NCAA pick.

Game is at PSU. Penn State win would help the zips and hurt Creighton. Creighton's signature non league win is over Indiana. Penn State winning the tourney...would mean that both the zips and West Virginia would have wins over ACC regular season champ Pitt and wins over regular season and tournament Big Ten champ Penn State. That would be great for MAC teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
