Is it a huge upset if #2 in the country beat #1?

Depends how good #1 is.

With no international ringers? Yeah I'd say so.

From the reaction of the xc announcers who actually follow the sport.

Oklahoma State is the prohibitive favorite to win the National Championship,

Oklahoma State may be the best collegiate cross-country team ever assembled.

CrimWalCoug

yes, Oklahoma State has been the clear cut favorite to win the XC all year

I know, just asking for discussion, which we got

No, nationals are not in Oklahoma and will be hosted by Wisconsin this year.

Archaea

10:37am

Which could be super miserable

Littlerich

10:38am

yep, my mistake. Thanks for the correction.

What a terrible location to host events in the cold. If you’re going to fly

XC is not a comfort sport. Rain, snow, mud, sleet, heat, doesn't matter. Run.

Yes and no. Madison could be crazy cold and humid or it could be temperate. If it is cold and humid, good luck staying

My sis and I flew to Tallahassee to see it in Florida, we're not

They could easily make it more comfortable than Wisconsin in November though

OSU goes 6 deep with 6 elite runners. Today one didn’t run and one tanked. Cougs win with consistency through at least 5

Joe Banks

BYU had 6 in the top 15

Littlerich

10:47am

Five (which are all that count) in the top 12. Eyestone = Genius

*in my best coach voice, “6 and 7 still matter because they add points to other teams”

Joe Banks

The ranking differences aren't that great, & BYU has 1st place votes.

TailgateU

In the cross country world, it IS a huge upset. OSU will likely still win

Archaea

Guadia still hasn’t raced and Messaoudi faltered today. Not the lock they were looking like.

Joe Banks

11:02am

This.

Archaea

11:31am

BYU #5 came in before OSU #4. We had 6 in top 15 (OSU had 3). Our #2 & #3 were

TailgateU

11:14am

Guadia still must race and the makes OSU elite.

Archaea

11:32am

Yes. #1 OK St imports runners from East Africa. Amazing we are still competitive
