This shows how bad the Villanova loss was. Syracuse had an RPI of 6, but I feel they didn't get seeded because they finished fourth in the regular season and the committee couldn't justify seeding them and not Stanford, who finished second. Clemson finished third.
The BC loss also hurt, but we might have been seeded with only losing to BC and UNC.
It really was a failure of the coaching staff to properly prepare for the Villanova game. This is the reputation of the head coach, she overlooks teams.

A former Stanford goalie posted that the second place team in the ACC has always been seeded until this year. Also the only west coast team to host was USC, until now Colorado is hosting. Stanford could have hosted last year, but lost to Denver. This season the loss to Villanova ended any hopes of hosting. It was completely under the team’s control and the only one to blame for them not hosting is themselves.
My original thought was that a 2nd place ACC team would get seeded. This is b.s. considering the B1G got 4 seeded teams.
Our team's losses have all come on the road and the path to the Final Four goes through UNC.
