After losing to 2-7-0 Cal last night - a well deserved loss for a team that looked flat - an Oregon State win over UW in Seattle would have had the Beavers tie us for the Pac "12" title. Not often I root for UW but I was very happy with UW 2, OSU 0. Fifth Pac 12 championship in a row.
Now the question is our seed. The seeders usually hate us (but we win the tournament anyway). I was surpised to see our RPI before Cal was #4 as the Pac 12 is NOT well thought of, this or any year in men's soccer. But it will dive afgter losing to unranked and below .500 Cal. I'm guessing we get a top 16 seed and a first round bye, a second round home match, and about a 12 or 13 seed. About the same as our last three, championship, tournaments. (Not that e looked like a top 20 seed last night.)
