Welcome to a big Saturday in MO soccer! 16 Quarterfinals all in one day to decide next week’s Final Four after an eventful 10 days of District play. Each class has its own intrigue, favorites and dark horses. We have used updated MO Power Rankings (MPR) to show who the favorites are in parentheses and they are all listed first. The higher the number, difference, the more the MPR favors that team with anything under .40 being in the “upset zone.” Home field advantages, travel and other factors obviously come into play here with the home team listed after the “@“. Note that 11 of the underdogs by MPR are actually hosting games which could mean for some potential stumbling blocks for the favorites.
So far the MPR has been correct 164 out of 194 times (84.5%) in the postseason, while district seeding went 157/194 (80.9%).
Of the 30 upsets in MPR, 16 came with teams separated by .50 or less. Six Quarters tomorrow fall in that category. The biggest upset was Smithton's 3-2 upset over Stover, who were +1.25 favorites. Class 4 only had 7 upsets in MPR (88.1% accurate), while Class 2 was the least predictable (82.5%).
