RE: Stanford Women’s Soccer - BACardinal - 11-04-2022
USC is up 2-0 against UCLA right now in the first half. That's good for the Cardinal and the Pac-12 title

Stanford’s 2023 class is currently ranked 2nd in the nation

I think it was North Carolina I looked at Top drawer but didn't see it today
RE: Stanford Women’s Soccer - BobK - 11-04-2022
No score at cal after 57 minutes but that’s could be good as usc beats ucla
Score Williams 1-0 Stanford
RE: Stanford Women’s Soccer - Canalejas - 11-04-2022
Stanford scores in the 60th minute! 1-0
We just need a tie for an outright conference championship, thanks to the UCLA loss.
Uh oh. The bears tie it in the 74th minute.
RE: Stanford Women’s Soccer - Canalejas - 11-04-2022
1-1 is the final score. Stanford wins the Pac-12 outright.
All Right Now!

Congrats to the team. 2nd half wasn't pretty but they gutted it out.
onto the tournament.
Hope for a 2 seed, expect a 3 and get pissed for a 4?

Its frustrating that Stanford isn't likely to get a 1 seed given that we are Pac 12 Champions and beat both UCLA and Big 10 Champion Penn State. (UCLA, in turn had beaten 2 of the ACC's best teams, including Duke, who beat SEC Champion South Carolina.)

The ACC will get all 4 #1 seeds, correct? UNC, Florida State, Duke, Notre Dame? Isn't that how it's supposed to be? (he said sarcastically)

Stanford a 3 seed as predicted

And you weren’t too far off. 2 ones and 2 twos for the ACC. This is where I think RPI goes a bit off the rails.
I also have no idea how say NC state gets seeded with a 39 RPI.

That tie with Cal really did hurt us, which is surprising given that UCLA losing by 2 goals to USC (and losing the conference title) didn't bump them from a #1 seed.
RE: Stanford Women’s Soccer - oldalum - 11-07-2022
We beat a 1- and a 2-seed at home, lost to two 4-seeds away, and tied an 8-seed and an unseeded tourney team away. I'm thinking Notre Dame was the last 1-seed and we were the first 3-seed? The Cal tie might have made a difference, but impossible to know.

So I don’t really agree with the seeding committee, but the committee logic is simple. UCLA was carried by their big ACC wins - duke and NC. They are still 3rd in the RPI as a result. But RPI got way too locked into the ACC this year and then it all becomes a big self-fulfilling feedback loop.
For really silly look at NC state agin. They really beat nobody out of conference. A couple of good ties. Lost to Harvard. Lost to VCU. Mostly got destroyed by the good ACC teams - 6 to 0 vs. Duke. Yikes. Their only good win was Clemson. That got them 39 in the RPI and somehow an 8 seed. For reference Massey has them at …. 60. Seems way more accurate.
BTW Massey is also way higher on the pac12. UCLA 1, Stanford 5 and USC 8.

Peace. I wasn’t meaning to disagree with you and I responded a post off anyway. I was disagreeing with the committee’s slavish devotion to RPI. So we are on the same page here.
Updated my previous post to be clear what I was disagreeing with.

Penn State:
Tournament Team Results
Lost to: a 3 seed (Stanford) away, a 4 seed (Michigan State) at home, and a 6 seed (Ohio State) away
Tied: 5 seed (Georgetown) at home
Beat: a 4 seed (Michigan State) at a neutral site
Didn't play Northwestern
Nontournament Team Losses and Ties
Lost to: Nebraska away
Tied: Iowa away and Indiana away
St. Louis:
Tournament Team Results
Lost to: a 1 seed (Notre Dame) at home
Beat: a 3 seed (Arkansas) at home
Nontournament Team Losses and Ties
None (same as Stanford)
In addition to what you mention above, Stanford has an away win over unseeded Arizona State. So it's 3-2-2 against tournament teams (including wins vs a #1 and #2) compared to Penn State's 1-3-1 (1 win vs a #4) and St. Louis' 1-1 (1 win vs a #3).
You are right we can't know how much the Cal tie hurt, but that was our only moderately adverse result against any team that was so much as unseeded. With the tie we dropped from #9 in the RPI to #11 (from 1 spot behind St. Louis to 3 spots behind) and I'm assuming that the larger gap was too much for the committee to overcome using judgment. In fact, with RPI #5 North Carolina as the #2 seed in our group, I don't think the committee moved us up at all. RPI #9 Arkansas got St. Louis as the #2 seed in their group and RPI #10 Virginia got Penn State as their #2. So it looks like Stanford is at least the 3rd lowest #3.

Not specifically taken into account by RPI but definitely weighted by judgment rankings.

Hah! Although one would expect Stanford to also score "lifetime achievement" points.
