Both VA and Penn State should have likely been seeded before BYU.

Penn State received a couple first-place votes in the most recent poll. So the coaches think they might be the best team in the entire country. Yet whomever is doing the seeding somehow believes Penn State (and VA!) aren't even one of the best 16 teams in the country. It's really odd.

But this year, seeding means very little, since all the games will be played in NC.

Here is the women's soccer bracket. Think BYU got a terrific draw.

Only losses were to #3, 8 and 11.

Cool to see UVU in there as well.

Look at the RPI rankings. BYU ahead of both of them. PSU is the highest B10

Your explanation makes sense.

They said they didn't use RPI on the selection show today

But did they say they completely ignored it? Sometimes it's how you say it 🙂

The preliminary game may actually be an advantage in this situation....huge

Isn't BYU's first-round match-up against Virginia--ranked No. 5 in the country?

This is a very weird tournament.

Virginia's last two games were a loss and a draw to West Virginia.

Did Stanford not make it?

No. And they were not expected to make it.

rocker

Didn't they win it all last year? Of course, they had the player of the year.

Archaea

4/19/21 1:26pm

Yes. Really unusual, especially given its Stanford.

rocker

Virginia is a powerhouse and the game is played in NC. Practically a home game

As good a program as Virginia is...they are 10-4-2 this year. BYU should expect

True. But VA's 4 losses were against teams ranked No. 1, 2, 5, and 6.
