1 Wisconsin - First 23:46 - 23:48, Dominated every race this year, took five of first six at Big 10 (:18 second difference from 1-5), but #6 runner was 39th.  If team stays healthy, would be a tight win over Ok State

2 Ok St - Have looked very good but loss of Macheso and rise of Wisconsin puts the Badgers first by a whisker especially after :43 spread at Big 12, Manilafasha opened at Big 12 as #5 for the Cowboys

3 BYU - Great Performances at Notre Dame and Wisconsin Adidas show their strength but a failure from one runner will make it difficult for them to trophy, Top five finished within :35 to win first WCC title

4 Stanford - #3 runner (Wisconsin Adidas) Ben Johnson missed Pac-12 and if he misses NCAA, it is unlikely they will trophy

5 Colorado - Top NCAA returner Bosshard opened at PAc-12, expect improvement
