NCAA AT LARGE POSSIBILITIES AS OF 10-20-02

The following is based on the points formula given by the NCAA Championships manual. A team gets wins only when a team it has beaten is in the NCAA Championship meet.

Some of these could change if there is difference in auto quals.

Again only speculation but should be near correct.

re: RED DRAGON

Great stuff. It truly shows those with the big lists who will undoubtedly get in, but cross country rarely goes to script. The whole list gets goofy if the projected autos don't get in. Many teams were short-handed with sick or hurt runners at Pre-Nats, so the rankings and projections can be way off. It might be closer to actuality after conference meets take place, but even then it's subject to massive change for teams 25 thru 31.

Bottom line is we need to change this lousy system next year; not down the road!!

re: Wait till Regions

Do Weber and BYU also get possible at large points for beating Central Michigan at Minnesota?

I guess BYU would for sure, because they did not race at Pre-nats, but CMU beat Weber after Weber had beaten CMU.

You don't think LaSalle could get an at-large?

re: RED DRAGON

My question is: What if Wisconsin runs a certain number of runners at nationals that differs from the past two meets?? Would this cancel at large points for those who had beaten them early?? There is a new rule that addresses this situation, but I don't know who many runners must be different.

re: Question

This was discussed regarding Navy and Nebraska's wins at ISU. Basically, under the NCAA rules, if 3 of the runners from an earlier race runt he regional meet, then the team is regarded as the "same team."

re: SJM

With thirteen at-large bids, how can there be only fourteen "possible" at-large teams??? Obviously there are many more. For example, you need to count some teams which beat the "possible" at-large teams.
