It was another week of upsets with the top three teams in the previous weekly College Soccer News poll losing early in their conference tournaments. The result is a new number one and some movement in the poll but when there are a lot of unexpected losses they tend to offset each other in terms of relative standing. Upsets have pretty much been the norm this year as reflected in the fact that in more than the usual number of cases this year the teams entering their conference tournaments with high seeds didn't prevail.
