Men’s soccer: No. 12 Northwestern stretches unbeaten start to 12 games

The introductions — and headlines, for that matter — for these updates have become rather formulaic.

I include the ‘Cats’ current spot in the United Soccer Coaches (USC) Top 25 (still No. 12) and how many games they’ve played without a loss (now 12) before spending a couple hundred words exploring the “validity” of those figures.

So guess what I’m going to do this week?

Yep, you guessed it (or maybe you didn’t): the same exact thing.

For the first time this season, and probably in my three years of covering this team as well, I looked at the NCAA RPI rankings.
