2025 Weekly D3 Soccer Pool

It's back!

Thought I'd through this out here early in case anyone wants to chime in with comments or suggestions for the new season.

Given all the conferences moving to Flo, it's going to be a challenge to catch many of the games; but that won't stop me from putting together weekly matchups that I'll pretend to know something about when in reality I will know nothing about :-)

Cheers all!

My suggestion is to have one game each week that is off the beaten path. There's over 400 teams in D3 and it gets a bit boring when the slate consists of the same handful of teams every single week.

I think EJay did an excellent job at finding those games.

Maybe also take 1 game from Kuiper, our west coast expert.

First weekend and maybe second, going to have to have 20 plus games each! So many good matchups that many will not be able watch.

Definitely think there was a very good effort. Remember that he took a game where Mississippi Univ for Women playing someone one week. We feasted on that game for awhile. I think MSW doesn't even play in the NCAA??

MUW is indeed an NCAA D3 team playing in the SLIAC. 0-17 last season

Hey now, I had Mt Union in the pool one week

In all seriousness, I leaned heavily toward top 30 match-ups or games that could impact important league standings. But I can certainly look to add games like Rivier @ Dean on 9/20.

I like the idea of keeping it the way you had it adding one crazy game to it each week
