I'll be first.
#1- EMU- After conference's screw-up, they'll go 1-2 and the rest of the guys will get in under the top 30.
#2- C.Mich- This is their year and they rolled the last time they ran there.
#3- Wisconsin- Just because they'll be trying to take it easy. They could easily be #1 or #2 (however hard they decide to run)
#4- Indiana- 2 frontrunners will help them out. I have heard they trained through conference? Why? I do not know. But anyway, they'll be there. It is too bad Haas isn't doing much; I thought he would be better than the twins??
#5- Michigan- 2 decent frontrunners and they'll have their other guys in there. 10k seems to suit this team better.
#6- Butler- Not sure what they've been up to or how they'r running, but they were good early on and they'll be ready because it really is the only race to get ready for.
MSU, ND, or OSU- Bettr hope ND dosn't get in here and block everyone else, but with Moore and Mobley? they should be pretty strong. Toloff running good will help MSU, but they seem to be struggling back end and there could be too many guys in there to qualify. OSU, after a great run at conference, may be deflated. I would've liked to have seen Gary win Coach of the Year at Big 10's, but you can't surprise twice.
This region is a shame because all the teams that these teams have beaten will be in the top 3 at the other regions. Bring on super-regionals!
