Video may be used to determine whether a goal has been scored, to identify players for disciplinary matters, and to determine whether a fight occurred and identify the participants. Use of video review in both men's and women's soccer is strictly voluntary, with coaches for both teams agreeing to its use before the game. The home team is responsible for the equipment and for making review possible either at the scorer's table or at another ground-level location. As in other NCAA sports, the video review must display indisputable evidence for a call to be overturned.http://www.campusfc.com/ncaa-approves-video-review-for-2016-season/#more-30326 NCAA approves video review for 2016 season DesignHooks/Campus FC April 13, 2016 August 25, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160826135015/http://www.campusfc.com/ncaa-approves-video-review-for-2016-season/#more-30326 August 26, 2016 dead Proposed Division I season change After many months of extended unofficial discussion, on August 22, 2016, NCAA Division I men's coaches and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) officially began an "informational campaign" to build support for a proposed change of the playing schedule for Division I men's soccer. Under the proposed changes of the "Academic Year Season Model", the number of games on the Fall schedule and the number of mid-week games would be reduced, with games added in the Spring following a Winter break, and the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship tournament would be moved from November and December to May and June. In addition to more closely matching the professional season, the changes address issues of player health and safety and of the time demands on student-athletes. The proposal concerns only Division I men's soccer. While a large majority of men's coaches and players support the changes, only a small minority of women's coaches and players currently do so. At this time, there is only the "informational campaign" "...to educate our Athletic Directors, NCAA leadership, student athletes, coaches and fans on the advantages of this Academic Year Model,” said Sasho Cirovski, NSCAA D1 Men's committee chair and University of Maryland head coach. No formal proposal has been made to the NCAA, and once proposed, could not come into effect any earlier than the 2017–18 academic year.http://www.nscaa.com/web/News/Articles/August_2016/NSCAA_D1_College_Men_Propose_Academic_Year_Season_Model.aspx NSCAA D1 College Men Propose Academic Year Season Model National Soccer Coaches Association of America August 22, 2016 August 23, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160826091731/http://www.nscaa.com/web/News/Articles/August_2016/NSCAA_D1_College_Men_Propose_Academic_Year_Season_Model.aspx August 26, 2016 dead http://www.socceramerica.com/article/70064/the-case-for-extended-college-mens-season.html The case for extended college men's season Soccer America August 23, 2016 August 23, 2016 Season overview Pre-season polls NSCAANSCAA NCAA Division I Men National Preseason Ranking http://www.nscaa.com/web/Rankings/web/rankings/2016/Preseason/NCAA_DI_MEN.aspx National Soccer Coaches Association of America NSCAA.com August 3, 2016 August 2, 2016 August 5, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160805163746/http://www.nscaa.com/web/Rankings/web/rankings/2016/Preseason/NCAA_DI_MEN.aspx deadRankTeam1 Stanford2 Akron3 Clemson4 Maryland5 Wake Forest6 Syracuse7 Creighton8 North Carolina9 Notre Dame10 Georgetown11 Boston College12 SMU13 UC Santa Barbara14 Seattle15 Indiana16 UCLA17 Virginia18 Ohio State19 South Florida20 Denver21 Coastal Carolina22 Charlotte23 FIU24 South Carolina25 Rutgers College Soccer Newshttp://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/polls/csn-preseason-top-30-poll/937-college-soccer-news-2016-preseason-national-poll College Soccer News 2016 Preseason National Poll CollegeSoccerNews.com August 8, 2016 August 10, 2016 August 10, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160810033202/http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/polls/csn-preseason-top-30-poll/937-college-soccer-news-2016-preseason-national-poll dead RankTeam1 Stanford2 Akron3 Maryland4 Clemson5 Wake Forest6 North Carolina7 Georgetown8 Boston College9 Creighton10 SMU11 Syracuse12 Seattle13 UCLA14 Indiana15 Denver16 UC Santa Barbara17 Notre Dame18 Ohio State19 South Florida20 Virginia21 South Carolina22 Connecticut23 Kentucky24 Charlotte25 FIU Soccer Americahttp://www.socceramerica.com/article/70095/soccer-america-mens-preseason-top-25.html Soccer America Men's Preseason Top 25 Soccer America August 22, 2016 August 25, 2016RankTeam1 Akron2 Stanford3 UCLA4 Maryland5 North Carolina6 Clemson7 Wake Forest8 Boston College9 Creighton10 Syracuse11 UC Santa Barbara12 Georgetown13 Indiana14 SMU15 Notre Dame16 Denver17 Seattle18 Ohio State19 Washington20 Virginia21 South Florida22 Xavier23 California24 Kentucky25 Connecticut Top Drawer Soccerhttp://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men Men's DI Top 25 TopDrawerSoccer.com August 19, 2016 August 19, 2016RankTeam1 North Carolina2 Maryland3 Akron4 Stanford5 Syracuse6 UCLA7 Georgetown8 SMU9 Seattle10 Clemson11 Wake Forest12 Denver13 Indiana14 Creighton15 Boston College16 Connecticut17 South Florida18 Coastal Carolina19 Notre Dame20 Washington21 Kentucky22 Dartmouth23 UC Santa Barbara24 Utah Valley25 South Carolina Regular season #1 List of NCAA Division I men's soccer teams ranked in the 2016 Top 25 coaches poll Weekly NSCAA #1 ranked teamhttp://www.nscaa.com/rankings/2016-nscaa-college-rankings 2016 NSCAA College Rankings National Soccer Coaches Association of America August 3, 2016 January 2022 InternetArchiveBot yes DateTeamDateTeamDateTeamDateTeam August 2 (preseason) StanfordNone until after season starts August 30 Akron September 6 Notre Dame September 13 Notre Dame September 20 Maryland September 27 Maryland October 4 Maryland October 11 Maryland October 18 Maryland October 25 Maryland November 1 Maryland November 8 Maryland November 15 MarylandNone until after tournament December 13 Stanford Conference standings Major upsets In this list, a "major upset" is defined as a game won by a team ranked 10 or more spots lower or an unranked team that defeats a team ranked #15 or higher.
