As expected, WSoc #1 overall seed - Viking_Guy - 11-08-2010

So Stanford starts the road to the College Cup at home against Sacramento State.  As expected.

Also as expected, the committee stacked the Pac-10 against one another (7 teams in, 6 of them would meet in 3 round of 16 games, the other, USC is first at Notre Dame and then would be lined up at North Carolina).  At least none are paired in the second round, as has been the case in the past.

The worst of it is, sorry Mick, reserved for Santa Clara.  Geography again wins out (along with an unexpected loss at Pepperdine last week), and the Broncos, who as a team that has been top-20 pretty much all year, gets slotted against Stanford in the second round, when they should be somewhere playing against a team ranked around #10 or #12.

Game TBA Friday night, with second round Sunday afternoon.
