The first men's soccer RPI is out and SMU is a whopping number 11!
I was hoping we would make a nice dent in the RPI with our non-conference schedule, but this is amazing.
Congratulations to the team and let's keep it going through the rest of the conference season.

Considering Louisville is playing South Florida on ESPNU right now I would guess yes.

C-USA will be fine, soccer-wise. If the SMU-to-Big East plan goes through, C-USA still will have some soccer heavyweights in Tulsa (having an off-year, but always good), Kentucky and South Carolina (affiliate members for soccer) and UAB, and teams like Marshall and FIU aren't bad at all. There are no cupcake teams in C-USA.

Meant to clarify and say, they are losing two teams, do they have to make additions?

Interesting question. The women would be losing three teams as well.
I imagine there would be some additional shuffling - as well as some in volleyball and some of the other sports...
