This is Texas' to lose. 10 in shot, 6 in the decathlon, 10 in the 400, 8 in the 4x400, 4 in the 800, 5 in the 200, 5 in the 4x100.
Obviously they won't score that high in every event, but you are looking at 40+ points. I don't think Georgia sniffs 40 point. 8-10 in the decathlon, 8 in the 4x4 and 4x1 combined. 8 in the 100-200 combined. 4 in the 400. Would get them to 30. Am I missing something?
their high jumper is ranked #1 coming in at 2.30m. Also Elija should be 5-6p in 400m, Matt should be 12 between the 100, 200m
so with their 4x4 at 8p they are 41-44p
My estimates for Texas may have been optimistic, but yours are equally. Georgia will no way get 8 in the 4x4. Bowling will be 4th or lower in the 200, and 6th or lower, so probably around 8 points in the 1 and 2. I think Godwin who really struggles to finish will get 6th or 7th. But like I said, I was optimistic in my Texas predictions as well.

UGA's 85 meter jav thrower only 8th for 1 point. Texas with a 7th in the long jump for 2 more.
im just banking on UGA's tradition in the field events to come through (decathlon, HJ) to set the tone for Matt and Elija/4x4
Right now I don't think either Texas or Georgia clears 40. 38 maybe wins it? I think Godwin and Boling are under performers.

Georgia 4x4 will score zero points, they did not make the final. Boling and Godwin were on it and they still did not qualify.
It's official, Georgia mathematically cannot win a team title.
well...being an optimist: 10 in HJ, 10 in Deca, 12 in 200/100, 8 in 400 = 40...i think 37-38 points wins.
americas great white hope will not score 40
It might come down to the 4x400. And no Georgia in the 4x400!
will see..UGA still has some big points to score. Decathlon, HJ, 100, 200, 400. I really think it won't even take 40 points to win the team title. when they won in 2018 they didn't have a 4x4 at all!
Texas still has the following to score points as well: dec, 4x100, 200m, 400m, 800m & 4x400. And it's not the same competition from a few years ago in 2018. I still think that it's nice to have a 4x400 to score more points if needed.
you have a point but in 2018 UGA won with 50+ points. this year it looks like it will take 40 or less thats why i think UGA has the upper hand because of the field events. Florida will break down Texas sprints points,I think. It is exciting to see what happens though.
Speaking of Florida... I think they have a chance at the team title as well. I am looking so forward to Friday! But first, let me see how many women Texas is going to push through tonight.

And Texas starts with an 11 point lead because they have 12 from the first day, to Georgia's 1.
Texas has a triple jumper in the top flight. Will have to PR to score but it's a potential scoring opportunity. He was 7th in the LJ.
I forgot about Texas triple jumper. He's going to score some points.
Leo Neugebauer is giving it that Texas fight as he is currently leading again by winning the discus.
Garland did poorly in the discus and barring disaster from Owens, Garland can't win. Garland will have to rally just to get 2nd. If Nuegebauer cleared one more height in the PV, Garland wouldn't have been able to catch him.
