While there are still a few fockey games left on the NCAA calendar, nearly all of the 79 Division I (DI) teams have wrapped up regular season play. The next uphill battle? Conference championships.

November may not start until midnight(s), but the postseason is already underway with cross country conference meets in the books and, as we mentioned on Friday, women’s soccer conference tourneys kicking off yesterday. Tighten those laces and catch up on the race toward the nattys.

No tricks here: For the first time this season, no undefeated teams lost on Saturday, with the unbeaten six maintaining their perfect records through Week 9. All are hoping for a treat from the CFP selection committee, who drop their first rankings tomorrow.

With playoffs hitting the men’s soccer pitch in a matter of days and the women’s volleyball court in a month, the NCAA selection committees have been busy compiling their final rankings before official picks separate the “so fetch” squads from those in the Burn Book.

While some squads have already said “RIP” to their playoff chances, the ones atop the poll are looking to cast spells on the CFP selection committee, who drops their first rankings on Tuesday.

While a few Division I (DI) women’s soccer conferences will wrap up regular season play next week, a majority of the 333 squads are finalizing their standings this week, with conference tournaments kicking off the postseason — and the road to the natty — on Sunday.

Both the University of Wisconsin athletic department and campus police are investigating the unauthorized leak of “sensitive” photos of some Badger volleyball players, according to statements released late last week.

While Saturday’s Week 8 matchups ended three more undefeated seasons, six teams’ perfect records still remain.

While it’s not the first lawsuit from a former collegiate athlete who suffered head trauma, it’s the first that hasn’t been settled or dismissed.

No. 14 Syracuse Orange (6-0) vs. No. 5 Clemson Tigers (7-0), No. 9 UCLA Bruins (6-0) vs. No. 10 Oregon Ducks (5-1), No. 24 Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-2) vs. No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide (6-1) and No. 17 Kansas State Wildcats (5-1) vs. No. 8 TCU Horned Frogs (6-0).

Wednesday night was a wild one at the net, with not one, but two ranked squads falling to unranked opponents.

Though the official road to March Madness doesn’t tip off for almost three more weeks (not that we’re counting…), the men’s and women’s preseason polls dropped over the last two days.
