A 10-mile bus trip is not very "away".
Does ASU have any freshman coming that will make an immediate impression?
Also, I'm not seeing more than two, maybe three PAC12 teams that will give UCLA any real challenge. What am I missing here?
How about the fact that they only have 7 home games and play 4 of the other top 6 teams (plus $C) all on the road?
It’s the nation’s toughest schedule plain and simple.
Sitting next to you it would be an eternity, diaper boy.
How do you know who the top teams will be?
I watch a lot of women’s soccer, follow a lot of women’s soccer experts AND I have paid attention to how the preseason rankings go. They have half of the elite 8 on their schedule not to mention $C. Why don’t you consider games at LMU and $C road games?
One problem with trying to engineer an RPI is that you don't know ahead of time what your opponents' records will be next year (or several years in some cases).
I know of a fantastic central midfielder that they are getting, and she can make a definite impact, if they use her the right way. 18 total new faces in Tempe this season...it's going to be a brutal fight for play time.
Admittedly the program has been in shambles but they did 'clean house' from HC on down. Maybe they get it turned around? Agree on the soft schedule but gotta win some games to build confidence, etc. IMHO.It would suck to be a midfielder for ASU. You are either going to be playing defense the entire game or watching the defensive backs kick the long ball to the sprinting forwards. I predict ASU will not win a conference game. If you take a look at their non-conference schedule it is cream puff. South Dakota State and Montana.....wheeeeee...
They set their schedule in the winter with only a couple being multi year home and home arrangements FYI.
And so...?
The top 10 in RPI are mainly the usual suspects so it isn’t that hard. Play in a top 3 conference (check). Play traditionally top non-conference opponents (check). Play traditionally tough opponents on the road (check). Win a lot (check). Lose 2 games or less (check).
Simple.
Should be plenty of adrenaline in that last game.How about the fact that they only have 7 home games and play 4 of the other top 6 teams (plus $C) all on the road?

Now, Now.Because @push_up is a pedophile and his kid will NEVER play a top team or sniff the field in college. It’s okay though lots of good JCs in Arizona.

Let it go....and then lose in the playoffs (check).
