Seen a lot of D3 stuff but anyone have predictions on D1 Regions? Thought I'd start with the Great Lakes because it's always interesting. He's my predictions:
Men
1. Wisco
2. Michigan
3. Eastern Michigan
4. Michigan St
5. Indiana
6. Notre Dame
7. Butler
8. Purdue
.... who cares after that
Women
1. Michigan
2. Eastern Michigan
3. Notre Dame
4. Michigan St
5. Wisco
6. Indiana
.... who cares
Not to derail the thread, but how did Eastern Michigan develop a top-level program?
Agree on the Badger men and because I'm a homer, I say Wisco women will be top 3 in the region.

Sue Parks has done a great job everywhere she has coached. She took Ball State to the NCAA XC Championships as well, and look how awful they are since she left. She is an all in coach and does a great job.

EMU usually has some pretty good Europeans.
Don't agree with Michigan being #2. I definitly think this is EMUs year and they will get the second automatic qualification spot and then Indiana will be a close 3rd. I'm a little confused why everyone has been having Michigan ranked so high this season. Do they have something that I'm missing? This past year for them was pretty poor and didn't really show much promise for this year.
I only had Michigan over EMU because they return everybody plus they get Ben Flanagan back and he could be a low stick Eastern might have trouble matching. I think this is one of the hardest regions to predict this year (aside from Wisco)
