BYU seems to have endless depth year to year. It would just take an A+ effort, but they could probably win, if NAU and Stanford have OFF days.
Standford same - they will need to run their best (anyone does, in order to win) and NAU would have to be off, but I would say this is the most likely scenario.
Washington still seems to probably be too 1500m focused to really win NCAA XC. Similar to when the Powells were at Oregon. The women will maybe do a little better relatively due to the 6k distance.
Colorado has the two big guns up front, but probably don't have a 4-5 who can be in the top 50, which really is what you need to be in it to win it.
Conversely, Portland likely doesn't have the front runners to take a run at it.
This will be the first year really where we can see if NAU really develops people or if it was somewhat of a product of having Baxter, Day, Lomong. You just never know how some of the newer/less experienced guys are going to handle the situation in November. From what I've heard/seen, Mike Smith would be the guy to be able to get those guys ready to go though.
Can't wait to watch!
