So what's this mean??

Well for one - it's really good that we scheduled (AND BEAT) Santa Clara. That's a huge boost for our tournament resume. And Kansas will no doubt be the 2nd best team we've faced to this point.

Loyola has an opportunity to give our SOS a boost with some quality opponents next week, but they'll be the considerate underdog in them.

Overall, we've played a very conservative schedule. Our unblemished record is remarkable, but it's what we really needed with a soft schedule to this point.

The concern of course, as we enter conference play, is that we are going to be on the road against some quality opponents. We really haven't had any road experience to this point and we've seen that be an issue in the past. The lucky piece is that we have Auburn and Tennessee at home and we don't go to South Carolina until the end of the season.

2 o four 9 non-conference opponents are currently ranked, and then 3 of our SEC opponents are currently ranked. Hope that translates into a decent strength of schedule when it comes to NCAA Tournament seeding.

Taking out the loss to us, only Loyola Marymount has a losing record. William & Mary is 3-3 and the rest of our 9 opponents have winning records.

It might be more useful to show the records without the A&M game included, because that is how the RPI calculates their record for us.

Updated with Thurs-Fri results. Our bad opponents lost, our good opponents won.

BIG game between Santa Clara and #1 Stanford on Sunday at 6:00 (Central).
Video: https://pac-12.com/womens-soccer/event/2018/09/16/santa-clara-stanford

Stanford is favored, but I don't think they're invincible this year. Stanford & Santa Clara have a lot of history. Santa Clara is 20-22-7 all-time against Stanford, but the teams have split the last four matches.


EDIT: Added Records Excluding A&M Result in OP. Quick maths.

Very entertaining game. Stanford playing more physical than I thought they would be. I thought they would just out-talent everyone.

Stanford going to 2OT for the first time since 2016.

That was the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament. Where they lost. At home. To Santa Clara.

Great result for Santa Clara and for us as well. A&M could be #1 on Tuesday. Only USC was ahead of us but they have a tie.

Updated with yesterday's results. BYU has a match with Long Beach today.

William & Mary had a game scheduled with VMI yesterday at 2PM. However on Saturday afternoon, they decided to cancel that game and scheduled VCU last minute for a 7PM kickoff. Kind of a strange situation with the weather and all, but not a lot of time to gameplan. (W&M lost 0-1)

As a Former VMI soccer player, I was happy they rescheduled with W&M. VMI is off to its best start in program history against opponents that usually would write the school off. Then again, if they had beaten W&M I would have questioned Why the Aggies didn't win 10-0
