Teams:
1. Wisconsin--someone would have to die---literally to not win)
2. Colorado--no front runners but could have 5 in top 40 or so)
3. Arkansas--their Africans will have trouble in the cold, as they always do. I wish they would run XC nats in the south sometime and see what would happen.
4. Oregon--I am biased toward Oregon but I think this is legit. They should put 4 in the top 50 or so (assuming Kiptoo is healthy) and then their place will depend on where #5 is.
5. Stanford--They are a better team than at regionals. Some of their horses ran badly and look for a good showing from the Cardinal.
Individuals:
1. Solinsky
2. Korir
3. McDougal
4. Fagan
there are many others that have a chance too.
any thoughts???
