Hello and welcome back! Normally I saved this post for the beginning of Championship competition but a new site, a new username (had to replace the completely useless old one while acknowledging it had a brand, I'm happy with the moment of brain activity that generated it), and new posting mechanisms meant I decided I'd toss my yearly document out with the creation of my account.

While we are here, I do think this tends to be a good "catch-all" thread for the Olympic sports. I'd like to voice a small preference for each sport to have threads divided by year, I feel when the threads get large info tends to get lost and I've enjoyed going back to previous year threads to remember certain details. Much easier to do that in a 7 page men's soccer thread for the 2023 season than a 35 page thread that covers 4 years of play. But, if people have a strong preference to have all the info for a sport contained in one place, I will follow the consensus.

Either way, welcome back, and I have just checked the option to "Watch this thread" ;).

Glad to see this thread, as I always enjoy the work you do to track the sports programs. I also changed my user name, as I have been Matchone on the 247 site for more than 22 years.

Wrestling will likely stay yellow this year, as we lost our 3X AA and 2 other starters. While not many of Coach Scott’s young wrestlers have progressed to the point of scoring significant team points at the ncaat, this will be the first year Coach Koll’s recruits will be competing for starting spots. We will be largely relying on transfers (6) and redshirt freshmen (2-3) to fill the 10 starting spots. Hopefully a few can take a big step forward this year to compensate for the loss of McNeil.

Welcome Throwaway123! I'm glad you are here!

I penned many of the threads without the year listed. Give me a couple of days and I will put a year in each of them, no problem. Original content from IC staff or national staff will likely still be highlighted in their own thread, but everything else is just self-policing. But I totally agree that I like the 1-thread-1-sport format from the old board.

Things start kicking off tonight!

Women's Soccer plays NC State in the regular season finale. We are currently T8 in the ACC. I'm not going to take up the time to figure out how the tiebreakers play out exactly, but a win puts us on 18 points, which is currently T3 with the following teams having relevant games:

Duke (Currently 3rd, 18 points) vs. Clemson (T10, 14) - Duke will finish ahead of us on tiebreakers more than likely, Clemson cannot pass us with a win
UVA (T4, 17) vs. BC (13th, 5) - UVA win passes us, tie is even with us
Louisville (T4, 17) vs. SMU (12th, 8) - SMU win passes us, tie is even with us
Florida State (T4, 17) vs. Wake Forest (T8, 15) - FSU win passes us, tie is even with us. Wake Forest win ties us.
California (7, 16) vs. Stanford (T1, 25) - Cal win passes us.

Tiebreakers are:
1. Head to Head (0 points vs. Duke/FSU, did not play UVA/Louisville/Wake Forest/California)
2. Most wins over common opponents (The teams we did beat...took a lot of losses)
3. Goal Differential in conference games

We need to finish 6th to qualify for the ACC Championships.

Tomorrow:

XC will have the ACC Championships for Men's and Women's XC. Both teams need wins over teams that are likely to qualify for NCAAs, men need them to be more comfortable, women need them to get in a reasonable position to qualify.

Field Hockey has their last regular season match. UNC is 6-1 and T2 right now in the ACC, Wake Forest is 7-0 playing 6-1 Virginia.

Men's Soccer has their last regular season match, UNC is currently 9th but everyone qualifies for the ACCT.

Up to 281 points with results so far.

Tomorrow will be XC, every placed gained up to 17th is worth 1 point overall, every place 9-16th is worth 1.5. I doubt either team will compete higher than those finishes.

I heard the Carolina Insider podcast say that there is some metric where our football team could qualify for a bowl at 5-7, but that requires us to beat state.…

Apparently we do have the #1 APR so we'd be number 1 of 5-7 teams. I do wonder if we'd decline a bid in that scenario. I've removed the 0 for now.

I had no clue we were doing so well without Nattys
Did the Indoor tennis Singles Championship earn points????

We are always near the top after the fall, it's a good set of sports for us and iffier for the big contenders.

Points are awarded for team results only, so women's tennis is purely decided by NCAA Team Tournament in May (You can pencil us in for top 8 I would think)

25 points up for grabs tonight based on the Volleyball selection show...it sounds like our case is very controversial with an RPI that likely should miss by 5-6 spots but good computer rankings. Volleyball is a required counter for the Director's Cup, so avoiding a counting 0 is important
