NCAA Top 10 Ranking

[edit]

On October 11, the NCAA announced that, for the first time, the Division I Men's Soccer Committee would announce a Top 10 Ranking well ahead of the announcement of the tournament field and seeding. The announcement was scheduled for Sunday, October 29 during halftime of the nationally televised game between Indiana and Michigan State and is to designed give the public a sneak peek of the committee's thought process. Bill Wnek, chair of the committee and associate director of athletics at Loyola Maryland stated that, “With 75 percent of the season complete by that point, this will be a great exercise for our committee as we prepare for selection Monday.”

The ranking is to be based on the same criteria used to select and seed the 48 teams for the Division I Men's Soccer Championship, including strength of schedule, Rating Percentage Index, head-to-head competition, results versus common opponents, significant wins and losses, and locations of contests with additional input provided by the regional advisory committees.[34]
