Football tournament season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2015 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament (also known as the 2015 College Cup) was the 57th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I men's collegiate soccer. The first, second, third, and quarterfinal rounds were held at college campus sites across the United States during November and December 2015, with host sites determined by seeding and record. The four-team College Cup finals were played at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas from December 11–13, 2015.[1]

The defending national champions, the Virginia Cavaliers, were eliminated in the tournament's second round. Stanford won their first-ever national title by defeating Clemson, 4–0 in the final.
All Division I men's soccer programs except for Grand Canyon, Incarnate Word, UMass Lowell, and Northern Kentucky were eligible to qualify for the tournament. Those four programs were ineligible because they were in transition from Division II to Division I. The tournament field remained fixed at 48 teams.
Of the 23 schools that had previously won the championship, 13 qualified for this year's tournament.
As in previous editions of the NCAA Division I Tournament, the tournament featured 48 participants out of a possible field of 202 teams. Of the 48 berths, 24 were allocated to the 21 conference tournament champions and to the regular season winners of the Ivy League, Pac-12 Conference, and West Coast Conference, which do not have tournaments. The remaining 24 berths were supposed to be determined through an at-large process based upon the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) of teams that did not automatically qualify.
The NCAA Selection Committee also named the top sixteen seeds for the tournament, with those teams receiving an automatic bye into the second round of the tournament. The remaining 32 teams played in a single-elimination match in the first round of the tournament for the right to play a seeded team in the second round.
