[I brought this over from another thread, given that half the Ivy teams are involved.]

And although that's a stellar men's field, I'd say the women's has it beat (again, info from Cornell):
The Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown, hosted annually by Boston College, figures to be one of the most competitive meets of the early season. Six nationally ranked teams will make appearances at the event. No. 1 Michigan, No. 5 Georgetown, No. 14 Syracuse, meet host No. 17 Boston College, defending national champion No. 18 Providence, and No. 25 Dartmouth will all send runners to the historic Franklin Park cross country course. . . .
The Northeast Region will be heavily represented, as ten of the top-15 and nine of the top-10 ranked teams in the region will send runners to the event. No. 1 Syracuse, No. 2 Boston College, No. 3 Providence, No. 4 Dartmouth, No. 6 New Hampshire, No. 8 Harvard, No. 9 Stony Brook, No. 10 Columbia and No. 13 Connecticut will all be in attendance. Cornell checks in as No. 5 in the Northeast heading into the competitive run.
In addition to the litany of competitive Division I teams, the field also boasts Division III power Johns Hopkins. The Blue Jays are the defending Division III national champions and are currently ranked No. 1.
