Nationals is going to be fun. It is run on OSU's home course so that is a massive advantage. OSU runs on that course 2-4 a week.

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

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.

I know, just asking for discussion, which we got

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

Which could be super miserable

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

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

BYU had 6 in the top 15

Littlerich

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”

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

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

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

Joe Banks

This.

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

Guadia still must race and the makes OSU elite.
