2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

Sunday...

Stanford at Washington State
USC at Utah
UCLA at Colorado
Arizona at Oregon
Arizona State at Oregon State
Cal at Washington
 
My prediction for PAC 12 All Freshman team with 2 games to play:

Sophia Smith Stanford
Naomi Girma Stanford
Abby Greubal Stanford
Maricarmen Reyes UCLA
Lauren Brzykcy UCLA
Penelope Hocking U$C
Mykiaa Minniss Washington State
Nicole Douglas Arizona State
Marleen Schimmer Arizona State
Jesse Loren Colorado
Emily Knous Arizona

Hocking wins Freshman of the year.
Lauren isn’t a freshman. I don’t think redshirt freshman get to be on the list
 
Stanford 1 at Washington State 1, OT
USC 0 at Utah 0, OT
UCLA 2 at Colorado 1
Arizona 0 at Oregon 1
Arizona State 4 at Oregon State 0
Cal 1 at Washington 4
 
WCC will send two teams.

Santa Clara plays winless Pacific. Need to take care on business to avoid a tough round 1 opponent.

BYU is set.

Will be interesting to see how the middle tier pac 12 does in round 1. No doubt Stanford, UCLA and USC will advance. Round 2 will be interesting. Stanford’s injuries open the door for UCLA. I’m going w them now.
 
Stanford's injuries look numerous and are making things tougher for them

Got to see their game on tv today, once again they didn't finish on several quality build ups (like they did vs Colorado, and like they did most of last season) but instead had to rely on a singularly spectacular shot to take a lead into halftime.

The left back being out in the 2nd half certainly was impactful.

The WSU goal was interesting, great effort on their part to capitalize on the situation in the moment.

Ucla looked good v Colorado, got to see some of that. #2 was a handful for the Buffaloes to deal with. Buffs had opportunities to get it done, but the department of defense for UCLA had other plans.

Utah with a stellar effort v USC. USC seemed impatient to me up top and probably should've put that game away.

Kudos to Oregon for finally getting a result vs a quality side in Arizona. Probably too little too late for NCAA for them, even with a likely W coming up vs OSU.

The UCLA/USC game should be something special. Sooo much talent on both teams.

Great season so far out west.
 
Really interesting day in pac12
WSU imo just locked their ticket
AZ might need the win v ASU
ASU def needs the win v az
What about Utah if they beat COLORADO?
SC getting a 1 seed....not likely after the draw with Utah but they will no doubt come out swinging v UCLA who got a good W v the buffs

ASU needs the win to get in but the others are already in. If Utah wins they are in too. Whichever team wins between the Bruins and the Evil Empire gets a #2 seed and if UCLA loses they get a #4 and $C gets a#3.

Utah vs Colorado is a tossup. If Utah wins and their RPI gets into the 40s (not likely) then they get in.
Arizona State beats Arizona. Both get in the dance.
Oregon beats Oregon State and might get into the dance due to RPI.
Stanford nukes Cal and clinches the PAC 12 title.
Washington State beats Washington and is in.
UCLA beats $C in a College Cup type preview game.

7-9 teams get in depending upon next Friday. Should be fun.
 
Regardless if what conference you are in,

If you are in the lower half of your conference with less than .500 record you are climbing an uphill battle. Oregon.
 
Any predictions on how many get in from each conference?
ACC - 7
Big 12 - 4
Big East - 2
Big 10 - 3 or 4
Pac 12 - 7
SEC - I think it should be 5 or 6 but will probably be 7 or 8
West Coast - 2

Don't care about the rest they can't win it anyway.
