OldZipper Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Congrats to Caleb Porter and the boys for bringing home yet another MAC title. Now it is time to wait and see if they are rewarded by the NCAA committee for their high RPI (12th) and 15-3-2 record. Go Zips! Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 IMO, UA has earned a first round bye and a home game for the second round. Let's hope the selection committee feels the same way.When and where will the bracket be released? Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 What was the score of the game today? I wasn't able to go, woke up too late lol Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 It was 1-0 in the second overtime. The bracket will be announce tomorrow on ESPNews, but I didn't catch the time. Check the TV guide. Quote
skip-zip Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Only the top 16 teams get byes. It's gonna be close. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Only the top 16 teams get byes. It's gonna be close.Akron's RPI is more than enoug to get a bye. Our ranking should better as well. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 I think we will end up with anywhere from the 12th to the 16th seed giving us a first-round bye and a second-round home game. I agree, we perhaps deserve a better seed and ranking, but that aspect is beyond control. In the tournament, all that matters is winning the next game. It's a new season. Quote
zipboy Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Congrats to soccer! Frenchie said the pairing get released at 4 PM tomorrow. I doubt we get a bye and home game. We always get screwed. Quote
OldZipper Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Posted November 18, 2007 Congrats to soccer! Frenchie said the pairing get released at 4 PM tomorrow. I doubt we get a bye and home game. We always get screwed.Nope, between 5:30-6 on ESPNews (and it is usually always closer to 6 ) Quote
GoZips88 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 I'm in the camp of those who think we'll get the first round bye and 2nd round home game. Quote
skip-zip Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 Don't hold your breath.National ranking makes it "iffy".Hope for the best. Quote
a-zip Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 VERY PROUD.............KEEP IT GOING. I HAVE A 9 YEAR OLD IN VIRGINIA WHO WANTS TO PLAY ON A WINNER... Quote
OldZipper Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Posted November 19, 2007 Don't hold your breath.National ranking makes it "iffy".Hope for the best.It's all about the RPI. The third one released last week has the Zips at 12, which would put them in a good slot for a bye. The only question is how much these games against low RPI teams NIU and Buffalo hurt them. You are better off losing to a high RPI team than beating a low one.In any case fingers crossed Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 I was there today. Great match. Congratulations to the team! 1st round bye and a home game. I'm banking on it. Quote
