Maybe, but they'll need to outperform expectations (and/or have Kansas underperform). Kansas has a 15 point lead. Possibilities for points tomorrow (with form chart predictions in parentheses):
Kansas:
Paris Daniels - 200m (4th; 5 points)
4x100 (4th; 5 points)
4x400 (8th; 1 point)
Oregon:
Anne Kesselring - 1500m (4th; 5 points)
Becca Friday - 1500m (7th; 2 points)
4x100 (5th; 4 points)
4x400 (1st; 10 points)
Lauren Crockett - HJ (not expected to get points)
This would leave Kansas with 59 and Oregon with 54.
Maybe, if both Kesselring and Friday score in the 1,500 and they win both relays, but unlikely since they're down 15. Don't know what Kansas has left the final day, however.
I don't think so.

Winning an NCAA outdoor title as a non sprint school is almost impossible.

How many points has Oregon scored in the sprints? How many in the distances? If anything, Oregon is more of a sprint school than Kansas. The difference for Kansas is in the field.

That's fine.
But most women's NCAA titles have been won on sprints.
Kansas does have a great field team.
If Haley Crouser had only taken summer school after her Soph year and graduated in December! The Ducks would be in a much better place.

But they are a sprint school....sub 11, 50.8, another scorer in the 100...English should have probably won the 200 too. 4*100 one of the best. 4*400 might be the best. Oregon has become a sprint school on the women's side.

lol, etc. etc.
I don't expect the Ducks to ever win NCAA outdoors unless things go perfectly, and they haven't gone perfectly.
Generally the way to win is a sprint/sprints-relays heavy team (ask LSU).
Lsu has not won it in about 7 years..

Yes, but they had a what, 11 year freaking win streak?
Somebody remind me how Arkansas men won all those track titles. Sprint heavy?? Or distance/triple & long jumpers.
No
7 years???? LSU won last year but "vacated" the title due to doping. NCAA didn't recognize this and considers them defending champions.

Are you sure Arkansas men did not have sprinters? I will start with Tyson Gay.

They have not won since regionals. They were great when you could run one 10k or 5k and get in nationals on time.
The regionals system cost Oregon the title this year. Under the old system, Hasey would have made the 10k on mark.
no
nope
