Can I turn your attention to something real quick?
Back in early August, when the preseason United Soccer Coaches poll came out, I checked in to see which teams on Marquette Golden Eagles men’s soccer’s schedule this fall. SPOILER ALERT: None of the non-conference opponents were earning votes, much less turning up in the top 25 itself.
So when I fired up the Week Two USC poll and said, “hey, Marquette is 4-0-0, is anyone throwing them a courtesy vote here,” imagine my surprise when I discovered that the Golden Eagles are the unofficial #27 team in the country.
