Didn't realize this site was still running.
Those rankings seem about right to me. With the exception of maybe Northern, I think each team will finish right around where they're ranked.
Without Reza, Case will most likely be hanging on for one of the last spots overall at Nat's. With the way 'Berg's 4 & 5 are looking their top 3 would have to run in the top 50 overall for them to be a top 20 team and I don't think anyone sees that happening.
On a great day I think Mount could run about 15 overall, but once you hit Dickinson at 14 on that list, the competition just starts getting thick.
If O'Brien can repeat as All-American and Adam can threaten for one as well and he looks capable after Saturday then ONU would be in good shape. Lewis and Bowsher need to race in the top 60 or 70 in the nation where they belong and If Porter could finish around 120th Northern would be in great shape.
Calvin won't touch the likes of Cortland or North Central and I think NYU will surprise everyone and fit in the top 3 or 4 just a head of Calvin as well.
rankings for the top 10 are about right but after that don't agree at all but thats why they run the race. we will see on Saturday
