Men's college soccer rankings after Week 12: Updated United Soccer Coaches Poll

The 2026 men's college soccer season is hardening into form six days out from the reveal of the men's NCAA tournament bracket.

No. 1 Georgetown wrapped up its regular season with a 2-2 tie at UConn, which scored on a Preston Alessio penalty kick in the 88th minute to earn the draw. The tie snapped a 10-game win streak for the Hoyas.

No. 2 SMU crushed Virginia 6-0 in the quarterfinals of men's ACC tournament quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals against Syacuse. That same day, and after a 2-1 win against Duke in the previous round, No. 3 Clemson was bounced by No. 17 North Carolina, 3-2, in double-overtime in the ACC tournament quarterfinals.

No. 4 Indiana wrapped up its regular season with a 3-2 home win against No. 16 Michigan State, setting up a matchup with No. 11 Maryland in the teams' first game of the Big Ten tournament on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

One week after entering the top five of the national rankings, No. 5 Akron earned a 2-0 win at Marquette to finish its regular season on an eight-game unbeaten streak. The Zips will take on No. 10 Creighton in the semifinals of the Big East tournament on Thursday, Nov. 12.
