If BYU wins out, Santa Clara will be invited even if Pepperdine finishes ahead of them.

If Santa Clara finishes 1st, neither Pepperdine or BYU will be invited. Reason: no bigs wins out of conference.

Pepp beat Santa Clara a top 10 RPI, and BYU a possible top 50. You don't know what you're talking about.
 
And with games vs.

86 Portland
155Gonzaga
154Loyola
160 San Diego

There’s not much room to get the rpi better.
I think the finish will be:

1) BYU
2) Pepperdine
3) Santa Clara

Santa Clara will have a higher rpi than Pepperdine and more signature wins and ties than Pepperdine. Committee will select 1 and 3.

This would not be unprecedented. I believe a few years back this happened:

1) Pepp
2) USF
3) Santa Clara

USF was left out.

Let’s not forget about Portland and USF. Both have a shot if they can run the table this weekend. Lots of soccer to played.

You got to be in the RPI top 60 -65 to get considered for the invite or win your league.
Portland #86 not a chance in hell
USF #69 outside shot only if BYU, Pepperdine & Santa Clara go winless from here on.
 
Agreed, USF and Portland have zero chance unless they win league. Same for the zags. I suspect we will have a clearer picture after this weeks games.

Actually in 2015 San Francisco tied for second with Santa Clara.

PS. BYU, Santa Clara and LMU went to the tournament that year. I'm still bitter.

Agree. Fleming needs UCLA more than they need her. She looked horrible out there on the national stage.

She's (Flemming) a great player, but so is Sanchez.
My point was not to denigrate Flemming, but to highlight the other great talent on that team.
I took my kid to watch UCLA when she was in HS because they get many of the best players in the region, nationally, and internationally.
 
Absolutely brutal day for injuries in the PAC 12. Sophia Smith with a broken leg is done. Not sure about Macario Halley and Xiao at Stanford. Then WSU loses their best in Haro who was taken from the field in an ambulance with what looked to be a possible major head/neck injury. Prayers for her and Smith
 
Yeah the Smith injury was brutal. Her boot was on its side at a 90 degree angle on the turf as she planted to shoot. Looked really bad.

Prayers indeed. I know the physical and emotional toll all too well. I pray these players have a speedy recovery and are able to return to the pitch better than before.

Fleming sets the tempo. Not everything she does shows up on the stat sheet. They all feed off of her energy and her and Mace being there allows Sanchez to spend the entire game either 1v1 or unguarded. The cross field switches are much more effective with Fleming there because you get Sanchez, Mace or a wideback 1v1 or unguarded because if you don’t clog the middle with Fleming in the game she and Villacorta will carve you up straight up the gut.
