Hmm, I'm not a fan of you get in regardless of regional performance because you are supposedly so great. Why have regionals at all if you are going to be able to keep out all your top runners, place 6th, and still get in. Unless 3rd, 4th, and 5th place teams also in, I wouldn't even consider BYU. But I'm not voting...
It's not a vote. It's all based on who you beat in the season and they made it in according to our projections. So did #7 Utah State.
There is a vote via sub committee, points etc matter, but still a vote. From NCAA site below:
How do teams get into the cross country championships? The regionals are a crucial event within the championships selection process. A team's advancement to the national championship is dependent on their performance at the regional championships. Once the regionals have concluded, the top two teams in each regional — there are nine in total — automatically qualify for the championships, which equates to 18 automatic qualifiers. In other words, it's the safest route to qualification. The NCAA DI Cross Country Subcommittee will then choose 13 at-large teams to fill out the 31 team field. At-large teams selections are based firstly on their performance at regionals, making the third- and fourth-place teams the most likely candidates. Regular and postseason (up until the championships) results combine to create a detailed resume of a team's performance throughout the season, and that resume is also looked over by the subcommittee to determine at-large championship selections. The amount of regular season points and specifically the wins against teams that have already qualified or been selected to the national championships really matter here.

If it's truly done by vote, then Iowa state men would be selected. But, kolas points say otherwise. So, I guess we will see which it is
We've run Bo Waggoner's computer program and here are the projected NCAA fields assuming the regional rankings hold. Come here on Friday and we'll be updating things as each regional result comes in live and we'll give you the fields as soon as the last regional result is in.

As an NAU fan it’s hard to watch the NAU carnage after 5k. I give Colin a pass being his firs 5k race but guys like Theo Quax, Bodey Hasty and Ryan Raff have no excuse. They are the veterans of this team.

Are you high? All those guys are currently (at 8k) between 8-20 seconds back from their teammates in the lead. NAU is currently set to win by a large margin over BYU.
