As it turns out, if you’re the #23 team in the country, you’re at risk in the United Soccer Coaches pollsters’ eyes if you don’t win all your matches.
Last week, Marquette men’s soccer was ranked #23 in the country after a loss to Creighton. The Golden Eagles went 1-0-1 since that poll came out, going to a draw with Milwaukee and beating Butler. MU is now outside the top 25 in Tuesday’s brand new rankings.
Because there’s only eight people voting in this thing that’s acknowledged by the NCAA as the only true rankings worth knowing for soccer, Marquette snagged seven points and missed the top 25 by five points.
