2026 Weekly D3 Soccer Pool

[Ejay]

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...

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Of course. Ready to defend my crown

[SierraFD3soccer]

Sure!

[SimpleCoach]

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.

[Crossit4fun]

[Rcjh2245]

[VASoccerDad]

[Ejay]

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

And here it is.  Ejay's Weekly Pool - Week One - The Hive Weighs In

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.

[SierraFD3soccer]

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.

[Ejay]

Before announcing results, can I just say that I get tremendous joy out of this contest - largely thanks to one person in particular :-)
