Z.I.P. Posted August 26, 2022 Report Posted August 26, 2022 Around the country on Thursday night and Friday. Pitt beats Georgetown in D.C. Bowling Green playing DePaul 0-0 second half. https://www.ncaa.com/news/soccer-men/article/2022-08-25/everything-happened-di-mens-college-soccers-opening-night?amp Quote
TennZip Posted August 26, 2022 Report Posted August 26, 2022 Thursday night was not the best night for the other MAC teams. Northern Illinois lost 3-2 to San Francisco. Western Michigan lost 2-0 to Butler. Chicago State was a pleasant surprise as they battled the Northwestern Wildcats to a 3-3 tie. Indiana vs. Clemson is on ESPNU right now (7 to 9 pm eastern) 1 Quote

I believe those RPI rankings should be more accurate in ~2-3 weeks. Lots of teams batting 1.000 and lots of teams batting .000 right now. 1 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted August 29, 2022 Report Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) RPI gains relevance once data accumulates. October is beginning of “RPI Season”. Edited August 29, 2022 by fknbuflobo 1 1 Quote

fknbuflobo Posted September 14, 2022 Report Posted September 14, 2022 RPI begins to matter come October. After RPI takes over, all polls are nearly meaningless. 1 Quote
