MDZip Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 Think of the step up in both attention and program rise when the Zips joined the Big East. And maybe Embick would be open the scripting the opening play of the first home game. 😉 2 Quote

Zips1991 Posted August 11 Report Posted August 11 Assuming the one first place vote for Creighton is from Coach Embick, because you can't vote for yourself, that means the other 11 coaches picked Akron to win the Midwest Division! 1 Quote

Could be getting a true road game against #1 if the cards are played right St. Louis hosts SMU (ranked 15 in preseason coaches poll) on Monday the 24th. That should be a great matchup and will also help the RPI for the Billikens. 1 Quote

csims0917 Posted August 31 Report Posted August 31 (edited) I think it’s purely based on this year results. Doesn’t factor in history like the ncaa 25 Edited August 31 by csims0917 Quote

From unranked week 1 to #6 in week 3 with 0 ranked wins. They must have made a cocktail with fermented Buck Nuts. Don't worry, OSU will get snapped back into reality when they play @Kentucky, Washington, @UCLA, Indiana, and @Maryland. They are lucky they aren't playing the Zips this year.

Akron soccer is a gold standard in men's soccer - they deserve so much more support than what they get. 3 Quote
