Definitely a wildcard. Do you run him at Nationals and take the place of someone who has actually raced?

Hard to imagine him coming into a 10k championship race for his first race and running well.

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

Littlerich All-American

Depends how good #1 is.

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

10:30am

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

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

Archaea

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

Littlerich

10:36am

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

11:27am

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

TailgateU

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

Littlerich

11:48am

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

Archaea

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

11:48am

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

10:46am

BYU had 6 in the top 15

Littlerich

10:47am

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

Jasbo

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

Joe Banks

11:48am

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

TailgateU

10:51am

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

Archaea

10:57am

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

Joe Banks

11:02am

This.

Archaea

11:31am

Why hasn't Guadia raced?

TailgateU

5:48pm

No idea. He was listed as a possible entry so he isn’t for sure out of it

Joe Banks

6:08pm

But if he hasn't been racing there must be a reason. I doubt he's at full

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
