Sunday's big day of soccer – which for many teams will be the final day of the regular season – features virtually all of the nation's top teams in action. All but three of the teams (Maryland, BYU and Arizona State) in the CS360 Composite National Rankings will be playing on Sunday, highlighted by a whopping 12 "big games" in which CS360 top-50 teams will face one another (there will be 35 total games on Sunday involving CS360 top teams).
CollegeSoccer360.com will be the place to be if you want to track as many of these games as possible. Don't forget that the CS360 Twitter feed (which is linked directly on the CS360 main page and this blog page) is the best place to follow when many top games are going on simultaneously.
Three of Sunday's games involve matchups of C360 top-25 teams: #9 South Carolina at #17 LSU, #1 Stanford at #23 Washington, and #25 California at #20 Washington State. Here's the full list of Sunday's games between CS360 top-50 teams (several of which could be "bubble-busters" for NCAA tournament consideration):
