2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

WCC looking like this:

1) Santa Clara
2) Pepperdine (I know our record doesn’t reflect this ranking but we’re on the rise)
3) BYU
4) USF
5) USD
6) LMU
7) Gonzaga
8) St. Mary’s
9) Portland
10) Pacific
 
Let’s get back on topic. In the Pac-12 right now it’s looking like this:
1) Stanford
2) USC
3) UCLA
4) Washington state (I know they beat UCLA but they were not the better team)
5) Colorado (played a lot of non-conf patsys but let’s see)

* I’m pulling the rest out of my a$$ from this point forward

6) Arizona
7) Arizona state
8) Oregon (record looking better this year)
9) Washington
10) Cal
11) Utah
12) Oregon State
I would not surprised at all if UCLA beats Stanford this weekend.
(you heard it here first)
That said, who cares beyond fourth place?
 
WCC finish-

1) Santa Clara

2) BYU - very good team. Always has good talent

3) Portland - have done well vs. top teams and Merlo field is a huge home field advantage.

4) Pepperdine - not as good as last year or the
year prior.

5) USF - better. They have good teams every 4-5 years. This is a year they are good.

6) San Diego - got sdsu’s Top player and she’s paying dividends.

7) Gonzaga - improved but need more talent

8) Pacific - start 6 freshman that will get
stronger as the season progresses but need more talent. New coach 3 years in.

9) Loyola - down year

10) St. Mary’s - very weak non conf. Schedule.
Lost their best players. Coach in his 5thbyear with his recruits now.

I’d swap BYU and San Francisco. Inside scoop and all.....;) also, I see Pepp sharing a title.
 
Im picking Pepperdine to win you effing commie.
I feel an affinity for SCU. They showed my DD a lot of love. Their biggest challenge every season is 'keeping up' after OOC schedule subsides. Other than (usually) Pepperdine and byu it's a psychological test of sorts to stay focused. I also would not be surprised to see the WCC repped in the College Cup with the Broncos carrying the torch. Just my two cents.
 
Santa Clara is the only WCC teams that makes the dance if they don’t win the WCC, which is possible. Everyone else needs to come in 1st to go.

Sticking w my SC prediction but it will be close. I expect the unexpected. Upsets galore that will clog the race.
