The RPI is #122

The Topdrawersoccer ranking is about predicting who the 64 teams to make the national tournament are between at large bids and who they think will be the automatic qualifiers for each conference and then ranking those 64 teams. This doesn't really matter as the NCAA for soccer does the pod system different then what they do with basketball (basketball does where the top rated team is set up to play the worst team of 4 groups of ratings 1-16, where the soccer system is set up of only 16 of the 64 teams are actually rated and the rest are set into groups of 4 based on regions to limit the cost of travel). The RPI is the better one to go off of. Awesome job Bison being 122# and climbing! Also if you check the Massey Ratings NDSU is 94!
