Final Projection Before Tournament Begins
Today is decision day when it comes to the field selection for the NCAA Women’s College Soccer Tournament, but first we make one final projection with our TopDrawerSoccer.com Tournament 64 National Ranking.
The ranking is an effort to project the postseason women's college soccer NCAA Tournament field of 64 each week, including the automatic qualifiers from every DI conference. The ranking update is posted each Monday after reviewing all results from the previous week. In the coming weeks, the ranking will transition to a reflection of actual tournament performance, round-by-round.
Stanford continues at #1. The current senior class just completed a remarkable 40-0-0 record in Pac-12 plat over their 4 regular season with the Cardinal. It would be difficult to pick anyone else as the NCAA Tournament top seed and favorite.
The complete women's college soccer ranking can be seen here.
