Without looking at all of the rosters this is my pre-season top 10

1. Stanford - Best top 3 in DI  - Korolev and the Rosa twins have a deep roster behind them.  Easily the best top 3 returning.  Under the experienced and succesful leadership of Coach Miltenberg.

2. Colorado - Tough team group.  You can never count them out and Coach Wetmore is a great motivator and coach.

3. Oklahoma State - Coach Smith always has high expectations for his group.  Geberkidane will fit in well.

4. Oregon - Low stick in Cheserek, Erik Jenkins is a top-10 guy.  Talented depth and the motivation should carry over from track. Addition of Gregorek will help strengthen experienced top 4

5. Indiana - Two of top 4 are sophomores to lead a developing team that finished eighth last year

6. Iona -  Always in there by the end of the season.  They peak well.

7. Northern Arizona - Can't count out Coach Eric Heins and his group.

8. Arkansas - Kebenei leads young group.

9. Providence - Entire team back and experience will help.

10. Texas or Michigan - both have good #1s and are well coached.

A team to be watched - Boise State picked up 7 international athletes with experience.  Under the tutelage of one of the top distance coaches in Cory Ihmels this team could trophy.  They lost 4 of top 5 that finished fourth at the west region behind 3 teams that finished in the top 7 at the NCAA meet.
