Florida State leads every NCAA prediction poll by a large margin; however, going into the final day the point spread is less than five. LSU and Florida both have about the same amount of athletes left to compete on the last day- can LSU create the biggest upset in the 2007 NCAA Championships? It would be a much bigger upset than Pickler losing the Hept or Galen losing the 10000m!

Lets look at it:
LSU can make up big points in the 400H with Phillips and no FSU guys
Neither has an 800 finalist
FSU has Chambers and LSU has Williams. Chambers is probably the better choice but he may not win.
FSU has the two fastest 200m men. That would end the meet right there. LSU cannot get any points here.
Neither has a 1500m runner in the finals
LSU can score some points in the 4x4 without any gain from FSU.
Bottom line is that if Chambers and Dix don't get hurt it would be unlikely for LSU to beat FSU.

A false start seems a lot more possible.
No FS in the 400, RTs are .2 to .3+, no one pushing for a .1 because the advantage is not worth it.
A 9.93/0.0 is worth almost as much as Monty's WR, especially given the rounds here. The 100 is NOT his best event. His chance of someone improving relative to Dix by 0.65 is not zero but no mortgages are going to be bet on it anywhere, anytime. The other FSU guy is going to pick up serious points (5,6?); 10+10+5+34 is more than LSU can buy.
Who mentioned Florida with its 6 points as a contender?
But, hey, this is a track meet and they run the races so see who is the best on the track not on paper, .... or the net.

In the 200 and 400 it's probably not.
Florida State WAS predicted to secure:
1st and 2nd in the 200m
1st in the 400m
a false start in the 200m would be critical to Flordia State chances; also LSU have a surprise in 400m- where they weren't predicted to score any points! Its going to be close but many websites, media sport writers, NCAA predictors had FlSt winning by over 25 pts!
Defintely Florida and LSU have a chance -- they just need to find a rule that lets them add their scores together.

Why is the assumption that all will go right for LSU and all will go wrong for FSU?
Of course anything COULD happen...the premise of the idiotic ramblings of Vipam....but why assume it will?
