Tournament Bracket

Here it is:

Breakdown of seeds:

1) UCLA, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Stanford
2) Portland, Florida State, Virginia, Florida
3) Wake Forest, Boston College, Texas A&M, Duke
4) Oklahoma State, Colorado, Missouri, USC

UPSF was very close in his forecast - Biggest upset is Penn State not seeded. They are in a bracket that would match them against Stanford in the third round. Maybe they can knock them out and then come to Merlo for an epic QF?

Yup... wouldn't be at all surprised to see Penn State knock off Oklahoma State. I think the Big 12 gets massively over-rated every year. Has a Big 12 team ever even made the Final Four? And yet they always seem to get 4-5 teams seeded every year. This year... Texas A&M, Colorado, Oklahoma State, and Missouri? Really?

Something tells me they would be a very tough third round match for Stanford.

Go Lions!

No big 12 team has ever been in the College Cup.

Did you know Colorado college has been in the College Cup 5 times?

The same number as UCLA

Well, we are going to Auburn, and I have no idea why.

Any chance that Stanford can't host the QF because of pointy-ball?

Welcome to the shipped out club, we finally get to stay home!

the committe head is from there :)

They have their own soccer stadium, so----no

Who is the committee head? And why are some seeds moved, why play so hard all year for a top seed, when you dont even get home field advantage?

Preaching to the choir with this group...

So, which bracket does everyone feel is the strongest??

UP, Stanford, OSU, Penn State and Wake?? Pretty rough...

Oh and Tennessee makes it at 10-10?? Hmmmm

And FSU.... welcome to the UP fate of the last few years... The NCAA really makes tons of sense....

I know you guys have been up the creek in the past, so what are the reasons? I hope our girls take it personal.
