Calm down please. I wasn't accusing you of anything. I was simply stating that I didn't want to continue that debate in the Women's Soccer thread.

TennZip Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I have been in Akron area since Friday. I have not been on a computer much. I had not looked at RPI in many days. After Friday night's tie with 2-3 Providence, Akron has dropped to #50 in RPI (as of Monday morning) Notre Dame is #41 https://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGreenTruck Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Top Drawer Top 25 and College Soccer News Top 30 are all over the map with Akron this week. Sept 18 2023 Top Drawer Soccer Top 25 #11 Akron https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men Sept 18 College Soccer News Top 30 #2 Akron https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-top-30-poll-week-ending-september-17-2023/ Marshall #1 in both polls and after last nights results with #1 Stanford and unranked Oregon State: #1 Stanford 1 Oregon State 2 there is no doubt come tomorrow Marshall will also be ranked #1 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll. And since Top Drawer and College Soccer News is all over the map with Akron it will be interesting to see where they have Akron. With a tie with Providence (2-3-1) my guess it's somewhere in the middle, I'd say the 5-8 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Wow in both polls the Sunbelt has three of the top four. Only SMU and Akron intervene in the two polls. In the coaches poll they occupy the top three spots with Akron 4th. Edited September 20, 2023 by MDZip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much movement we see in the Top 5 in the coaches poll but I suspect there will be some Both #1 and #2 (Marshall and UCF) won 2-0 in their only game. #3 WVU had a 2-2 draw with JMU and #4 SMU beat Charlotte 1-0 and had a 2-2 draw with FIU. Akron's 3-0 win over DePaul could bring them up a spot but Im more inclined to think if anything happens its WVU and SMU trading places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 With 4 regular season games left, it is probably a good time to look at RPI Going into last night's game at CSU The zips were #23 in RPI with a .5799 score their strength of schedule was at 97 After all Tuesday night's games the Zips score dropped to .5795 and their strength of schedule dropped to 104 However, the Zips are now #21 in RPI Before looking at each team on the schedule, the zips are an impressive 2-0-1 against teams currently ranked in the RPI top 16 Niagara RPI is 203 (211 teams in Division 1) Vermont 15 Michigan 89 Michigan has had a weird year 2 wins, only 3 losses and 7 ties (They have no losses in the big Ten....Michigan is 1-0-5 in Big Ten) Southern Ind 196 Long Island 151 Fla.

TennZip Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 At 5:20 pm Sunday October 15th, the zips are #12 in RPI Providence win over Georgetown really helped Akron in strength of schedule. Akron strength of schedule was 99 yesterday morning currently, SOS is 64 Providence was 88 in RPI earlier in the week. They are 62 at 5:20 Jared did a good job scheduling tough out of conference opponents...Zips have wins over #7 and #8...and have a tie against #3 The zips are 0.60 behind #11 Duke in the RPI number. Hofstra is 5 spots below Akron in the ranking but Hofstra RPI ranking is only 0.36 behind the zips. I am so glad that the zips are out of the MAC. Western Michigan has a record of 9-1-3. Their current RPI is 50. WMU strength of schedule is 188. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville has a record of 10-0-3. Their current RPI is 55. Their SOS is 201.

TennZip Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 For what it's worth, the Zips dropped from #3 to #7 in this week's coaches poll https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ The NCAA Division 1 soccer committee ....is much more important than the coaches poll. For those that are able to get the ACC network, you might want to tune into the ACC network between 8:50 pm and 9:05 PM on Friday night. We will get to see where the NCAA soccer committee ranks Akron after they have played 15 games. ACC network will also be televising a pretty good game from 8 pm to 10 pm (#3 Wake Forest vs #6 Notre Dame) The NCAA Division I men's soccer committee will reveal the in-season top 16 men's soccer rankings at halftime of the 8 p.m. ET match between Notre Dame and Wake Forest on the ACC Network on Friday, Oct. 20. Games through Thursday, Oct. 19 will be in consideration for the Oct. 20 top-16 reveal. The announcement gives fans a sneak peek of where teams stand a few weeks out from the selection show, which is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 13. https://www.ncaa.com/news/soccer-men/article/2023-10-03/ncaa-di-mens-soccer-committee-reveal-season-top-16-friday-oct-20-acc-network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the Zips are one of 2 teams.....that have seen a fairly significant drop Akron was #12 in RPI....at the completion of all games.....as of Sunday night 10/15 After last night's loss to #117 Creighton (RPI at time of the game), Akron has dropped to #25 in RPI North Carolina was #14 in RPI as of 10/15 North Carolina has dropped to #21 in RPI (North Carolina tied William and Mary in their 1 completed game this week) New Hampshire was #15 in RPI as of 10/15......On Tuesday night, New Hampshire had to play Hofstra (Hofstra was #17 as of 10/15) New Hampshire won the Tuesday night matchup....and New Hampshire is currently #8 in RPI West Virginia was #9 in RPI as of 10/15 Last night, West Virginia defeated Marshall 5-2 (Marshall was 12-0-0 before last night) West Virginis is now #5 in RPI Stanford was #19 in RPI as of 10/15 Stanford was probably helped by Creighton's win over Akron Stanford had wins over Georgetown and Creighton on their first weekend of the season. Stanford shows as #15 in current RPI Stanford plays Oregon State tonight (Oregon State is currently #32 in RPI)....so Stanford could move up a little bit more if they get a high quality win tonight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
