With it being August 1st, thought I'd throw this out there again to see if there's continued interest in a weekly pool this season...
Of course. Ready to defend my crown
Sure!
Im down with it. Which is apropos considering I usually go down in flames by week 2.
Maybe we up our game with the weekly show?
SC.
I'm in!
Count me in
I'll give it a try...wooden spoon winner right here!
It's on like Donkey Kong! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI4jVTpcx3s)
Week 1 pool is now open. Get your picks in ASAP.
https://forms.gle/EBQpqkFg6ZfCHV457
Rules once again unchanged:
- 5 points for each game outcome
- 10 points for each correct score
- After dropping your lowest weekly score, season winner is participant with most points
- This season's prize is once again nothing :-)

Is the deadline this season still Thursday night?

For you, it's Tuesday. For the rest of us mortals it's Thursday.
Alright, the pool is set with 37 entries:
The "everyone seems to agree" games:- Vassar over F&M — 73% (27 of 37)
- WashU over North Park — 70.3% (26 of 37)
- Scranton over Muhlenberg — 64.9% (24 of 37)
- Colorado College over Wheaton (IL) — 59.5% (22 of 37)
Then we get to the fun stuff...- CMU–Otterbein is basically a coin flip.
Otterbein gets 35.1%, CMU gets 32.4%, and the draw gets 32.4%. - TCNJ–Ithaca is another interesting one.
TCNJ has the slight edge at 45.9%, but Ithaca isn't far behind at 40.5%. Only five people picked the draw. - And then there's PSU-Berks–PSU-Altoona, where the draw is actually the favorite at 45.9%. The most common score is 2–2, with 9 predictions.
A few predicted scorelines of interest:- Amherst 2–1 CT College — 12 predictions
- Vassar 2–1 F&M — 11
- W&L 2–1 Johns Hopkins — 10
- PSU-Berks 2–2 PSU-Altoona — 9
- Greensboro 1–1 Guilford — 9
- CMU 1–1 Otterbein — 9

I am sorry to say you are all going to lose. I have the foresight of knowing the score now. The crown is mine.
SC.
Hah, F&M comes out looking pretty good beating Vassar 2-1 with only a 27% chance. So much for polls. Might the only game I got right.
F&M v Elizabethtown for the Boot next weekend.
Before announcing results, can I just say that I get tremendous joy out of this contest - largely thanks to one person in particular :-)

| Occidental @ Azusa Pacific | 68.8% (22) | 15.6% (5) | 15.6% (5) |
Haverford @ Johns Hopkins hmmmm. We will definitely figure out if the Fords are real. Like I said before, the Fords are now 17-0-11 over the last two years. 7-0-1 right now. Yeah no signature wins, but no losses as well. Also they have only given up 2 goals this (11 over 2 yrs) .25 goals per game and .039 in two years. This year they have scored 24 goals.
Obv. this will be a big test for the Fords, but you have to say the Fords are favorites just based on results this year. Maybe back to their late 2010's??

Trinity is taking it to Sewanee. 3-0 in the 75th minute. Maybe this is the week they put it all together and make a run.
UPDATE: 4-0 in the 82nd. Not sure anyone would have predicted that score away at Sewanee
FINAL: Trinity 4 - Sewanee 1
We had a couple predict 3-1, and one predict 4-2. But no 4-1s.

Any thought of replacing Gettysburg v. WC with Hop v. Ursinus. Hop v. Ursinus could decide whether Hop wins the conf. Ursinus could also win the conf. with a win and a Dickinson lose. FYI Dick plays the Muhls which crushed Hop last week.
Gettys v. WC means nothing and will probably be a bunch of seniors playing just a fun game. Both teams are eliminated.
Swat v. Ford makes perfect sense since it is a big rivalry, plus both have the same number of points and have made the conf. tournament.
Don't change a thing! EJay da man!

We actually discussed this on the podcast. Give it a listen, SC could use the eyeballs :-)
Yeah, haven't had the opportunity yet.
Just saying, that the Gettysburg v. WC will be a senior day for the home team and for both basically a pre-season game. Empty the benches along with getting that senior keeper who had no time or very little time this year (or throughout his career) in goal. Crappiest soccer all year most likely with absolutely nothing to play for. FYI, F&M v. McDaniel could absolutely be the same as all 4 have been eliminated.
Are you all going to be picking scrimmages next year too? Asking for a friend, obv.
GBURG-WC playing their last game and for pride only is more fun to pick then the brainiacs vs the pennsytuckies
The Bullets v. Shoreman, good point.
How about this charactization = (Sorry Hop92 and the other Hop)
Ivy light blueblood overrated very large college (5500 undergraduate body size) right around where The Wire depicted v. working class/lower middleclass backwater school (1400-1500 undergrad) as a better way of looking at it. Ursinus is a true D3 school which is more than 3 times smaller. How many would have even heard of Ursinus but for the Cent. Conf or grew up in PA. Also they have never won the conf. and actually have a chance.
A lot more interest in that dynamic than Bullets v. Shoreman in my opinion.
Also Ursinus was picked dead last in the pre-season coaches poll while Hop was picked second. Ursinus was picked almost every year 9th or 10th.
(https://centennial.org/images/2026/8/24/MSOC.png?width=1920&quality=80)
According to the game report (https://ursinusathletics.com/news/2026/10/24/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-clinches-centennial-playoff-berth-with-win-over-washington-college-on-senior-day.aspx) from Ursinus' win on Saturday, this is the first time the school has qualified for the Centennial conference tournament in program history.
It looks like Ursinus joined the conference in 1981 for football and in 1992 when it became an all sports conference, so that's a crazy long time to go without ever making the conference tournament!
IMO, Hop/Ursinus is a much easier game to pick than Gburg/Wash.
Jesus, I'm taking strays on this board today. :-)
Not sure I understand the "over-rated" depiction, but I also have thick skin and a diploma that opened a lot of doors... All good.
I would add to the Hop-Bears dynamic that Ursinus, even in down years, has Pipp'd Hopkins in weird 1-0 games. Especially at their field.
I don't feel great about Saturday.
Also, if the over-rated comment is specific to soccer... I think their results (just like the Dips) speak for themselves. We've covered this ground in the Mid-Atlantic thread. They are what they are... Close to Elite 8 or Sweet 16 most years, but have also bounced out prematurely.
They are what they are playing the system they employ.
