LetsRun.com 2015 NCAA Cross Country Regional Fan Poll Rankings

by LetsRun.com
November 12, 2015

Below are the LetsRun.com Fan Poll rankings for the 2015 NCAA regional cross country meets.

LRC Nation is believers in Stanford in the men’s national polls, moving them to #2 over Syracuse.

In the regional rankings on the men’s side, LRC Nation still believes Villanova will get an automatic qualifier over Penn and in the Southeast Region the voters only have NC State (14th in the national rankings) at #4 in the region (likely one or two voters just left them off their ballots). If NC State were to finish 4th in the region, 7 teams would make NCAAs from the Southeast Region according to Bo Waggoner’s computer program.
