Clueless in the Bay Area.

Santa Clara is in.
BYU is only in if they beat Santa Clara, which will mean they win the auto bid, if not no cigar.
Pepp is most likely in unless they lose to LMU today.

If BYU takes first, SC fades and pepp
Takes second you are saying that they will take SC over Pepp? NCAA basketball tourney has routinely left teams out that incur injuries and fade late. NCAA soccer will be no different. Who makes up that committee anyway.

USC dismembers Oregon in South Central.
Its starting to look like the Pac 12 is three teams and "also ran(s)".

It’s starting to be that time of year when the contenders are building towards Cary and the pretenders are getting ready for the season to end. Playing cupcakes may make you feel good and your record look nice but when you get into the ring with a real team reality sets in.

I guess not.
Looks like Stanford is pretty deep.
UCLA woman handled the poor team that showed up today as well.

. Watched this game and it wasn’t even 7-0 close. Trying to figure out if CU has just fooled everyone to this point or is Stanford that good even missing a ton of players but that was brutal
 
Stanford is a machine. As long as Macario stays healthy they are going to win it all again.

Some pac12 teams fading is good news for the WCC’s chances for a three team bid. Still lots of soccer to be played.

IMO-- Probably a bit of both. Colorado has a a couple more moments of reckoning coming with SC and UCLA.

Today Stanford surgically finished the simpler build-up goal scoring opportunities that in my view, are similar to what they've been getting all year, but have been largely spraying off frame or to the opposing GK.
 
Is it just me or is the SEC and the Big XI just complete frauds wrapped in a scam? If I were UCLA or $C I wouldn’t worry about being a 2 or 3 seed with any of those teams being the top seed in the bracket. I bet $C would love another crack at Baylor especially after they lost to Arizona.
 
Not sure about Colorado yet. For the sake of the conference it would be nice, but... They have USC, UCLA and Utah remaining

Washington State, once off to a flying start, now has a bubble feel but... still faces Arizona, Cal and Stanford

Next in line is Utah, but they have USC, UCLA and Colorado

Arizona could make a late push. They have Arizona State, Oregon and Oregon State.

Could end up being just 3.

Time will tell.

For me Macario is the best player in the country and its not close, baffles me that she isn't playing for the full national team. She makes everyone else look pedestrian.

These 4 are in:

Stanford
UCLA
$C
Colorado

3-4 of these will get in:

Arizona
Arizona State
Washington State
Utah

In my opinion Utah needs to beat Colorado assuming that they lose to the LA schools. Arizona State is in if they beat the Oregon schools this weekend even if they lose to Arizona and Stanford. Arizona is in if they get at least 5 points out of the next 3 games.
 
The battle for 4th place quite honestly is the most interesting race in the conference. There are 4 teams fighting for it, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State. Weirdly I think that Arizona State and Arizona have the best shot since they already played the LA schools. I’m thinking that the those rivalries are going to be epic. A win or draw for Colorado might be enough. A Utah win might do it. ASU has the narrowest path with them basically needing to sweep the Oregon schools and beat Arizona.

Should be fun down the stretch.
