I think your jumping the gun by dropping oklahoma st and oregon down so far after one meet where neither was at full strength. I do agree with Stanford number 1 though.
My top 5:
1.Stanford
2.Oregon
3.Ok. St.
4.NAU
5.Bama
3.
1) Adams State
2) Stanford
3) Northern Arizona
4) Alabama
5) OSU
6) Colorado
7) Portland
8) Oregon
9) W and M
10) BYU
There, fixed it for you.

Oregon WAS at full strength (Puskedra, Centro, both Mercados, Acosta, Klotz, McNamara all ran). Drop them down!

Adams State was third at OSU... that translates to #1 in the country?
It was in fun in response to the Adams State thread.
Adams State didn't have their best day at OSU. I would put them 3rd behind NAU and OSU if i was including them... but heres my D1 rankings..
1.NAU
2.OSU
3.Stanford
4.William and Mary
5.Alabamma
6.Colorado
7.BYU
8.Oregon
9.Syracuse
10.Portland
Add Mcneil into to NAU and they look unbeatable. But they are vunerable that their gap from 5-6 is big. OSU have more depth and could still challenge but Girma and Chirchir are big doubts in my mind. Stanford look good but haven't really been tested on a legit course against good teams. William and Mary look great, a real dark horse. Bama and BYU easily handled Oregon, Colorado look good but can they all stay healthy. Syracuse impressed but can they last the season? Portland will be 7-10th at nationals, Connor knows what he's doing.
Oregon, Alabama, BYU, and Portland basically all tied at Dellinger, so I wouldn't make any big changes in rankings. Do think that Stanford deserves #1 right now. Washington, Indiana, Villanova, and Syracuse all deserve to be ranked. Drop down Tulsa, Wisconsin, Auburn(out).
Women- Top stays about the same.with Villanova,Texas Tech, and Duke moving up.
Drop down Georgetown, Illinois, Michigan, and N.Az.

Notice i didnt say "oregon did not run all their guys." I said they werent at full strength because I believe they will run much much better when it counts
Heres a fun take and what everyone did.
1. Stanford - Won Stanford Invite
2. Northern Arizona - Won Jamboree
3. Ok State - 4th at Jamboree w/o top 2
4. Colorado - Won Rocky Mountain
5. Alabama - Won Dillinger
6. BYU - 2nd at Dillinger
7. W&M - 2nd at Jamboree
8. UVA - Won G.M. Invite
9. Oregon - 3rd at Dillinger
10. Indiana - Won Paul Short
11. Syracuse - Won Wisco Adidas Invite
12. Washington - Won ND Invite
13. Iona - 2nd at Paul Short
14. G-Town - 2nd at Wisco Adidas Invite
15. Wisco 3rd at Wisco Adidas Invite
16. Washington - Won at Notre Dame
17. Iowa State - Idle - Won Griak
18. Providence - 2nd at Notre Dame
19. Portland - 4th at Dillinger
20. Butler - 3rd at ND (tied)
21. New Mexico - 3rd at ND (tied)
22. Arkansas - 4th at Wisco Adidas Invite
23. Arizona State - 5th at ND (only 7 points behind NM/Butler)
24. Oklahoma - Idle - 2nd at Griak
25. Duke - Idle - 3rd at Griak
26. Villanova - 5th at Dillinger
27. Minnesota - Idle 4th at Griak
28. Iowa - 5th at Wisco Adidas Invite (2 points behind Arkansas
29. Cal Poly - 6th at Dillinger
30. Florida State 6th at Notre Dame
Dropped out #11 Tulsa, #20 Auburn, #23 Michigan, #28 ND
Washington at 12 AND 16? They really ought to combine those teams, then they'd really be tough. Or maybe you mean the UW women would be the 16th-best men's team.
you have washington ranked twice
ahh, my fault! also the Washington women are very good. I wont repost it, but I would put Washington at #12 then look at add in one more team on the bottom.
what about on the women's side?
Not sure how you can drop Portland down 10 spots behind Oregon when they were two points behind the Ducks on their home course.

You do understand the difference between RANKINGS and NCAA predictions? We are talking about rankings here. Cross country never gets ranked correctly because so many rankers try to guess what runners were held out, if a team ran all out or not, etc. You should not be guessing when it comes to rankings or trying to see in the future. How do we know German is really going to run later in the year. Most likely he will, yesterday he didn't. Their team is not the 2nd best team in the country without him. Please rankers, rank the teams on how they perform, not how you expect them to perform. Once they run their full team the rankings will show it.
