2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

P5 conferences flexing depth (and commitment) to the women's game. Love it!

SEC, ACC and Pac12 combined placed 24 (24!) teams in the dance.

Big10 and Big12 placed combined 10.

WCC down this year with only Santa Clara and Pepperdine. BYU tanked big time.

Congrats @Ricky Fandango . Your kid got robbed. She should have made the first team. Curious that there are only 2 defenders on the 1st team.
She didnt get robbed.
Holding mids usually dont have the numbers or star power.
Bri Visalli got player of the year and deserves every inch of it.
Keeper of the year to BP, who imho is as good as anyone out there, and Hailey Harbison is a special outside back.

Its a team game, and her team had a great regular season.
Post season up next.

That's great and all but BV was MIA against UCLA but but CS. HH was decent. BP deserved what she got. Good luck on Saturday.
 
I'd go for a reliable live stream at this point...
BYU does it better than anyone in the conference, and possibly the country.
At least on the technical side. Their broadcast team is typical homer gomer.
Santa Clara has the best play by play/ analyst Ive heard anywhere in womens college soccer.

I dont know who the guy is in Santa Clara that hosts their broadcasts, but he's a real pro.

Not really a fair comparison as BYU technically doesn't just stream. That is their television feed. Way more professional and produced for television first and stream second. But yes they are in a league of their own

Exactly. They have their own network.
The broadcast is great, but the broadcast team is just ok.
 
My College Cup has 3 PAC 12 teams in it. I hope that I am wrong about one of them. After watching the ACC championship game 1.5 times I just don't think that UNC or Duke are better than the top 3 PAC 12 teams.
 
Pac 12 has a great network broadcast, just like BYU

It wouldn't be unprecedented and has happened 3 times. There were 3 ACC teams in the College Cup in 2006. 2011 and 2013. Additionally in 2007. 2008 and 2009 there were 2 ACC teams and 2 PAC 10/12 teams and in 2015 there were 2 ACC teams and 2 Big Ten teams in the college cup.

Outside of last year when Georgetown made their first College Cup appearance no team in the college cup has come from a non Power 5 conference since Portland in 2005.
 
West Coast Conference has its own network, but its not a real network like the others mentioned.
Big Ten has a good network.
All of them have bush league announcers except Santa Clara.
As much as Pac12 announcers are hit and miss, there are a few who are tolerable and actually know a bit of what they talk about (Sullivan, Miles and Lane call a pretty knowledgable game)

9 SEC teams in the tournament, more than any other conference, is an absolute joke! Did they forget this is not college football (even then they are overrated). How the F!#@$ do they get ANY benefit of the doubt when they have not factored in any college cup with the exception of Florida (every now and then)! I almost barfed when the announcer said the Auburn Tiger goalie was a bad ass because she faced the "potent and loaded" SEC conference. I've watched this conference a lot, especially before I had the Pac-12 network and it is easily the most primitive soccer of the power 5 conferences. Kickball everywhere you look, and I'm not kidding.
