You're just like the rest of us guessing and hoping. You can not predict how runners or teams will perform...
So as informed as you think you are, your assessment is likely to be 95% wrong.
Will just have to wait until the third Monday in November...
You may well be hoping. Perhaps that was your problem in analysis - too much hoping, and not enough hard headed, stone cold thinking.
As for me, no, not really. I couldn't care less if OK State takes 1st, 2nd...or 20th. I do not hope that any particular team wins, loses, places...
So, you are mistaken about that much. Of this I am certain.
As far as "You can not predict how runners or teams will perform". Nope, wrong again. Not only can I predict how teams will perform, I just did. It turns out that I am not the only one making such predictions. There are quite a few making predictions about Nats. That's part of the fun. And really not so difficult at all.
And finally, yes, we will see in November. But remember when all is said and done and things play out just as I have predicted - remember to come back on here and say loudly and publicly - "Damned, you were right. I will never doubt you again."
