Flotrack has finalized their 2016 Men's and Women's predictions. Do you agree or disagree?

On the Men's side 1- 5 teams looks likely but that deck could easily shuffle one over the other. Flotrack failed to mention, in their Stanford critique, redshirt Freshmen Alex Ostberg and Will Lauer who are both distance specialists. Granted, both are unproven at the College XC ranks but were stellar (New Balance national champions on the track at 5km) and solid HS XC runners. Both could be in Stanford's top 7 and one could crack their top 5. The depth with Stanford's guys, outside of their predicted top 5, is potent and has been under the radar due to redshirting. For that, I think Stanford is No. 1 preseason.
How the season actually plays out is anyone's guess.
