I guess my post wasn't clear enough...I said the same you you did. My point was that the MAAC did not receive an auto bid prior to the NCAA expanding the tournament field and since the auto bid, the seeds for the tournament champ have been horrible.

It is obvious that MAAC Soccer gets no respect on a national level. There is no way the Stags get an auto bid for the season they had. It was a nice season but you had to beat Marist on your home field to get to post-season.

first off -- FOX is from marist not the Stags... and you said that even when rider was ranked they had to play in the play-in game -- which doesnt exist now and cant be a comparision... i think the Stags are 50-50 -- depending on if the other leagues had big upsets... if all the big league favorites won -- then fairfield can get in -- if there was a rash of upsets in the big leagues their chances drop quickly.


also you have to remember marist took uconn to OT last uyear -- which the committee will remember...

I don't know what you don't understand...the PIG was a requirement for the MAAC in the late 90s. Had nothing to do with Rider's team....it just shows you that the MAAC is not regarded as a good soccer league.

The Stags stand NO CHANCE of an at-large soccer bid, they are not even on the bubble. They played a weak schedule have little to no quality wins and lost the championship game on their home field. No chance whatsoever.

Congrats to Marist, they'll be playing a powerhouse in the first round and will lose by 3-4 goals.

I was under the impression that there were only 32 teams in the NCAA field. Can someone verify this or provide an update on the size of the field allowed now. If only thirty-two teams, then it will be difficult for us to make the tourney, despite our #20 national ranking.

The NCAA site has FF ranked 24th, after today's home loss to Marist, FF is no longer ranked in the Top 25. FF stands no chance of an at-large berth.

Yes, he does have it correct! "There's no need for anybody to be a jerk about it..."
