I thought only defending world champs had byes.
According to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_World_Championships_in_Athletics#Track_2
Felix had silver in 2013 WC, as did Simpson.
Rollins had gold, but Harper is not even listed to have medalled?
Just skimmed this:
and it says 2014 Diamond League champions get byes. Is that how Felix & Simpson have byes?
Ok, yes, Felix & Simpson & a couple others on that list have Diamond League byes.
http://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/2014-diamond-league-race-winners-stats
Ashton Eaton has a WC decathlon bye as well, that he says he is not using, right?

Correct. Same with Harper and Bartoletta.

Correct. Same with Harper and Bartoletta.
I do not think IAAF lets a county use two byes in the same event and run five. Four max I'm sure logic says they go and the rest of the women run for two berths.
truth be told USA has a strong enough depth to put 6 in the final next to Billaud France and Tif Porter GB- Sally Pearson badly broken wrist will not be there
The forecast shows mid-90's which could affect distance runners and people doubling.
Look out for Ward in the 10k. She had a great summer last year including 5th at USAs on the track and 3rd on the roads. She's coming off an injury this spring though, and hasn't raced much.

----------------------------------
Given that Centrowitz took second place in the Prefontaine meet (ahead of Kiprop) and also ran 1:44 in the 800 last week, I think it would be reasonable to add him to your 1500 list in replacement of Heath who is not running in the 1500 (he's in the 5000 only).

Does not seem to be the case informed sources say DHN in 100HH and Bartoletta LJ only can flash the card if Rollins and Reese are unable to use theirs .

Defending Byes-
Rollins and Reese
Eaton, Merritt and Oliver
DL Byes-
Felix and Simpson
Gatlin, Hoffa, Christian Taylor, Tinsley
with DHN and Bartoletta DL byes trumped by Defender byes
I'll put top 4 If an athlete has a bye to Worlds
Men:
100m- 1) Gatlin 2) Gay 3) Rodgers 4) Bromell
200m- 1) Gatlin 2) Gay 3) Dukes
400m- 1) Merritt 2) Vernburg 3) McQuay
400m Hurdles 1) Batman 2) Dutch 3) Tinsley
800m- 1) Berian 2) Jock 3) Kidder (it's so wide open, it's really hard to pick here, I predict 51 first lap, but then Berian takes off, Jock hold on for 2nd, Kidder surprises and kicks to just get 3rd, I like Symmonds, but if this is a 1:44 race which I think will win it, he's only in 1:45 shape and I don't think that'll do it...
