John raneri is back for UNC. Should be a good 2-3 man so that might move them up the rankings more

You have some glaring errors in ranking the teams; not sure exactly how you rated them but in some cases the lower ranked team is clearly better than the higher ranked team, better in terms of track PRs and XC performances.
Also Jake Hurysz is from NC, not CT, and John Murray is from MA, not VA.
Might want to tack on Texas A&M men. They seemed to build some momentum during the track season after a disappointing XC season last year. Appear to have a solid top 4, need someone to step up in the 5th position:
Issac Spencer 8:40s/14:15 SR (TX)
Cameron Villarreal 3:47/14:15 SO (TX)
Austin Wells 14:29/29:52 SO (TX)
Ryan Miller 14:30/30:02 SR (TX)
Alex Riba 4:07 SO (IL)
Julian Castellano 14:52 FR (TX)
Colin Slattery 3:52/14:52 SR (TX)

Looks more like a 4th or 5th place D2 squad.
Anyone who wants to make modifications in terms of rankings is free to make their own rankings.
This is just a fun prediction/information hub so that people know who is on what roster. If I'm not exact on in my predictions it's not the end of the world to me.
Where are the glaring errors? It looks pretty sound to me, and jeez the amount of work that must have gone into this is unreal. Just having the rosters so you can judge for yourself is tough enough. So again, where do you think the gross errors are?
Wisconsin's Jake Erschen graduated this spring. Will not be returning.
I didn't mean glaring errors by factual times; obviously that takes a tremendous amount of effort and those times are all accurate. I meant that there are some teams which *clearly* are not as good as teams below them, based both on track times and XC performances, and the opposite is true, where very good teams are left out of the NCAA meet. I'll make a new thread with my own predictions soon because I know I shouldn't talk unless I create my own rankings.
John Gregorek will also be running for Oregon.

Stephen F Austin will wipe the floor with these losers, just like we did last yere along with all of the other South Central Regional teems!
Geoghegan has indoor and outdoor eligibility, but no cross.

Gregorek has track eligibility, but says nothing about cross.
Do you have women power rankings??
You're the first to ask
Finally someone puts connor rog on the virginia rankings hes gonna be a solid runner for them this year
Tyler Udland (Princeton grad) is finishing his XC eligibility at FSU this upcoming year. He finished 9th at the Notre Dame Invite last year and 47th at NCAA-XC.

Also, they got Evan Chiplock (8:23 / 14:27) from Missouri as a transfer:
http://www.tfrrs.org/athletes/4053113.htmlUVA's going to be good.
For Wisco, a few suggested updates:
1. Jacob Erschen does not appear on the team roster, likely not running xc, as was mentioned by another poster.
http://www.uwbadgers.com/sports/m-xc/mtt/wis-m-xc-mtt.html
2. Sam Hacker is a likely contributor - 55th at Big Tens and xc 8k pr of 24:41
3. Ryan Kromer, RS Frosh, is another. 24:43 xc 8k. Top 10 NXN and FLNs.
4. Kai Wilmot, Frosh, is another. NXN champion 2013, 8:57 3200m
5. In addition to McDonald, Hardy and Wilmot; UW has three other true frosh who each ran 9:02 or better for 3200 (DeHaven, Benning and McDermott), and another who ran 15:22 in xc (Thompson). Stellar recruiting class.
I'll check out the Wisco stuff. I've seen Tyler Udland's name on FSU's XC roster but from my rigorous research I can see that he's ran 4 full seasons with Princeton. Can anyone actually confirm he has eligibility left? If so FSU must have some compliance wizards because I see him running 4 full uninterrupted seasons in HEPS.
Udland must have run unattached in 2010 - listed in a few of the meet results but not HEPs or NCAAs
