NCAA Men's Division 1 Championship Predictions

BYU hasn't lost to Portland once this season, they've beaten them twice and I think Colorado and BYU will have a close battle somewhere in the top 5. Oregon is a ??? 4-7 tho for Oregon. W&M and Wisconsin won't be top 9. Alabama is a top 5 team also

BYU mormon wiggaz get good sleep and avoid partying

thus

i think they'll surprise

Portland has a bunch of young runners (as does Wisconsin), which tends to lead to greater improvement across the season than for guys that have been in college for several years.

I will be surprised if neither of those Ws end up in the top 9.

How can you rate NAU so high when one of their studs Erik Estrada has not run since pre nats? Is is planning on running? Is he injured or been sick. Without him they will not be a top 10 team. With him ready to race and he runs like he did at pre nats they are a definite top 5 team.

McNeill will definitely be top 10.

My top 10:

Chelanga

Derrick

Bethke

Fernandez

McNeill

Mead

Bumbalough

Heath

Sheridan

McCarthy

Putting Elliot Heath that far down is just foolish. Look at the guys he's beat this year, including your third rank. Think again.

with the exception of derrick, chelanga, and a fit fernandez, heath could beat any of the guys on that list

he could also have a reasonably solid day and place 7th-12th

thats the way ncaa cross is

We shall see, good man, we shall see.

i think Schirmer of Southern Illinois will surprise for top 10. He closed hard in the midwest to grab 2nd.

i dont know all that much, but i'll just throw out my predictions.

team: stanford

individual: chelenga

i'll be routing for byu though! go cougars!

you will all be shocked on monday. some1 has been holding back all year and he will unleash a fury of speed to shock the world and win NCAAs by 20+ seconds.

Teams:

1. OSU

2. Stanford

3. Oregon

4. NAU (if DE is healthy and runs)

5. BYU

6. Iona

7. Colorado

8. Alabama

9. Wisco

10. Portland

Indivuals:

1. SC Lib

2. CD Stan

3. JK OSU

4. GF OSU

5. DM MAU

6. RV OSU

7. EH Sta

8. HM Min

9. BS Ion

10.TD Ala

But as Dave Smith stated earlier in the year run the race 19 times and you have 19 different out comes for the individuals.

AJ is this you?

You really don't think that Wisconsin is even a "dark horse" for top 10?

I'm going to assume you just forget them (somehow).

Why is there no love for Portland or William and Mary.

Portland wasn't even running two of their top 7 at regionals and they still beat Oregon. Also Kipchumba was their fourth man, he'll most likely be their first at Nationals.

Also William and Mary put 5 in the top 20, 3 in the top 10 at southeast regionals.

I think both these schools could be top 5.

1. Stanford

2. OK State

3. BYU

4. Portland

5. William and Mary

6. Syracuse

7. Alabama

8. Oregon

9. NAU

10. Colorado

And Wisconsin put 5 in the top 8 at Regionals, I think, and did not even run the guy who was 2nd at Big Tens behind Mead.

I've been wondering what Byren has up his sleeve. Peacock returning to form will help.
