Quote from: SierraFD3soccer on October 27, 2025, 07:52:10 PMGreat, great episode! Very true as to Cent Conf. All games mean a lot to all 10 teams.

Fyi 4 teams play on Friday night and the other 6 on Saturday. So don't miss those.

In 2022, the Centennial went from 5 to 6 teams for the first time. In 2021, F&M had to beat Hop to end up in the top 5 which they did.

I think this is  the first year all 5 games mean something with 6 qualifying. Last year the Swat Ford meant only something to both teams since they were eliminated.

W&L plays Bridgewater on Wednesday and are in 2nd and 3rd

4 points for a win!.5 for a tie!

Thanks! 

And I do hate all the ties. If Haverford finishes the season 9-0-10 and misses the playoffs, I think you'll see future years will feature a more aggressive approach to finding a goal rather than settling for a draw.

Thankfully the Centennial is not locked behind FloSports pay wall.

I hope the hive is right, but history has not painted that lopsided picture in recent years.

Hop is 2-2 versus the Bears going back to 2021.

Ditto the 90-0-10% for Trinity(TX) over Southwestern - yeah, the Tigers have absolutely dominated the rivalry but this year's Pirates team is playing at a level they haven't in basically ever.  If Southwestern can create some SOG, they could expose Trinity's weakness as the Tiger GKs are only saving 64% of shots faced.

Any way to do a bracket like basketball? Just an idea. I have no idea how to do it.

Final Week is this weekend. I'll have the matchups available soon. In the meantime, thought I'd take a walk down memory lane...

Seems like a not so thinly veiled dig at a certain other participant  ;D

I missed the show.  Given the option for draws the results are based on end of regulation, correct?
