1. Stanford - I think they took last year for granted a bit. Returning most everyone I believe.

2. Oregon - is always going to be a contender, with AJ's breakthrough they should be great.

3. OSU - Assuming German is healthy, he will make the podium. Lowe hopefully will be back. Moskowitz should improve greatly under Smith.

4. NAU

5. Portland - Should probably be higher up on the list.

6. Colorado

7. Wisconsin

Have to seriously look at the Hogs

All under 29 min 10K

Dorian Ulrey

Eric Fernandez

Salomon Haile

Lane Boyer

The Keyan Transfer from Rend Lake

plus the other Role Players in X-C

Staying healthy and not peaking early will be their key to the podium.

1. Kent State

2. Miami (OH)

3. Central Michigan

4. Eastern Michigan

5. U of Buffalo

6. Ohio U.

7. U of Akron

8. U of Toledo

9. Bowling Green State U

Does NAU still have their 5th place overall finisher from last year - Kipchamanga or something? He, McNeil and Estrada could all be top 10. Tough to beat.

I think Oklahoma (for the men) will get into the top 8. Returning their whole team and looking very strong. Especially with their distance guys breaking virtually all the school records this past track season. But I'm a Villanova fan at heart, and I hope they can get into the top ranks also.

Their first guy at NCAAs was 6th (yes, not 5th year, 6th) year senior Ryan Vail last year. How can they possibly be returning their "whole team"??

He said Oklahoma, not Oklahoma State.

Have to agree with the post about the Hogs. Ulrey, Fernandez, Haile, and Boyer are all sub 29min 10k runners (Ulrey's being 29:0x, but in cross) plus the transfers and other seniors on the squad...hard to see anything but top 5 from them.

Thank you either Kevin Williams or Jeremy Sudsbury for your post!

Actually I'm an Alumni from the cross team at Oklahoma. I already graduated. I like to put my old school up there in the rankings. :)

Yes they do and I'm very surprised everyone is too blind to see this. They return everyone. 3 in top 15 or 20 is not a long shot and that is extremely tough to beat.

Heard Chipangama is hurt.
