"Thirty-one conferences were granted automatic bids for the 2017 championship, while the remaining 33 teams were selected at-large. The top-16 teams are seeded and conference teams cannot play each other in the first- or second-rounds. When pairing teams, the committee follows geographic proximity parameters. The top 16 teams will host and all other sites were selected for the first-round to create the least number of flights."
So what determines the top 16 teams? Not RPI, apparently.
I suggest that they worry about the team in front of them and not their seeding...
Oh I'm sure those young women are razor focused on the next game...its me the crazy parent who's all bent out of shape about the seeding![]()
After the first round, aren't all of the 2nd, 3rd and quarterfinal games in our quadrant hosted by UCLA?RPI is a bad indicator of which teams are the top teams. Look I think that Pepperdine should have gotten a #4 seed. They didn't get it but have an excellent chance to prove that they deserve it. If they get past Fullerton they are going to get a chance to play an outstanding Virginia team and then if they win they get to come back to LA! If they got the #4 seed they would be playing in North Carolina a week earlier. All they have to do is take care of business and prove it on the field. It's crunch time now.

I thought Pepp plays Fullerton
YepThat is quite a thought.
Either Fullerton or Pepperdine will play Virginia or whoever Virginia is playing.Personally I think that Pepperdine got hooked up! They basically get to play Virginia at home in front of their fans if they win.

Pepperdine will get to show off their amazing field location and their crappy, rusty temporary stands. At least the baseball stadium is nice. Maybe they can't afford to dig out that hillside and make nice seating for the soccer field. Oh well, it's just a women's sport, and women don't matter.Personally I think that Pepperdine got hooked up! They basically get to play Virginia at home in front of their fans if they win.

With what they charge for tuition I think that they can afford it. If not all they have to do is sell off two plots of land and they will have about 20 million to build some new facilities...
The way the field is located, it is hard to imagine that anyone off campus would even be able to notice the change.True...but building anything in the Bu is a be-yach to say the least. They gonna need more than $20 just to pay off the Nimbys.
