New England Soccer Discussion

[Off Pitch]

Projected 11/5 NE rankings:

1. Brandeis
2. Wheaton
3. Amherst
4. Coast Guard
5. Babson - must beat MIT, probably would also have to beat or tie Wheaton to avoid dropping below Tufts
6. Tufts
7. Middlebury - would beating Bowdoin be enough?
8. WPI - must beat Coast Guard

Teams in bold should be safe for NCAA tournament selection. 
AQ is only chance for any of the teams below this point

9. Gordon
10. Wesleyan
11. Roger Williams

close behind include Williams, MIT and Bowdoin

The 11/4 NSCAA rankings are out for New England and match the above exactly with 2 exceptions.  First, Tufts and Babson are swapped.  Second, Nichols is deemed more deserving than Wesleyan (or Bowdoin or Roger Williams) in the top 10.   Tomorrow's real rankings will likely be similar.

[Off Pitch]

As usual your rankings will be wrong. How does Wesleyan crack the top 11 after going 1-1-0 and Williams drops out going 1-1-0 and Bowdoin does not make it going 1-0-1. Both Wesleyan and Williams will drop and Bowdoin will crack it.

Babson moves on top of Tufts?      With wins over Lasell and Emerson...PLEASEYour hatred for Nescac is beyond obvious.

Well Mr. Right, despite your vast experience and soccer IQ, Wesleyan does crack the top 11 as I predicted, AND Babson does move past Tufts as I predicted.  You may now refer to me as MR. Off Pitch.

[Mr.Right]

You obviously are great at plugging numbers into a computer. HATS OFF. Maybe you should try watching a game or two. If you did you would see that Tufts is a much better team than Babson.

[Off Pitch]

It is your opinion that Tufts is better than Babson.  My opinion was simply that Babson would be ranked higher than Tufts.

I don't understand your utter disregard for anyone who has a different opinion or view.  Predicting rankings is not the same as expressing a personal opinion as to which team is actually better.  Predicting rankings simply requires having a basic understanding of how the ranking process works. 

For whatever reason, you took the time to call me out saying that I would be wrong specifically about Wesleyan and Babson/Tufts.  Despite your need to denigrate those with whom you disagree, it doesn't change the fact that I was actually right and you were quite wrong.   

[Mr.Right]

You seem to think you are never wrong. Your rankings have usually been wrong. You got one right. Congrats.

[Mr.Right]

2 weeks ago you posted about 7 different times that Williams had to many losses to be ranked in the first rankings. I said they would be and I was RIGHT. You were WRONG as usual

[Off Pitch]

For me being wrong "as usual", with all the recent posts it is surprising that you had to go back two weeks to find an example of where you were correct and I was not. 

[Mr.Right]

That was one example I remembered. I could go back a couple days and find some nonsense you have spewed.

[Off Pitch]

Mr Right - That is real lazy of you to point out that there are more examples of you being right and me being wrong.  Why not give me 3 examples of this or are you too lazy

[Mr.Right]

Im to lazy but I know I am right

[Off Pitch]

at least you know who you are

[GarbageGoals33]

Are you the same person? 

[oldonionbag]

at least you know who you are

Mind=blown.

[Off Pitch]

I've decided to share my secret spreadsheet results for New England inclusive of games through today.

1.  Brandeis
2.  Wheaton
3.  Babson
4.  Amherst
5.  Coast Guard
6.  Tufts
7.  WPI
8.  Nichols
9.  Gordon
10. Wesleyan
11. Middlebury

If New England gets 5 Pool C berths, Tufts should be safe.  WPI is in only if NE gets 6.

[Off Pitch]

By the way, the secret spreadsheet shows Brandeis very comfortably #1.  Wheaton, Babson and Amherst come out rated very close to one another.  Then there is a bit of a drop down to Coast Guard, and another clear drop down to Tufts. 

I think WPI may be in serious trouble unless their SOS increased more than I am projecting with this week's games with Coast Guard and Babson.
