1. Stanford - Korolev and Joe Rosa dominated at home meet and look healthy enough to finish in top 10 at NCAA. Top 4 did not run at very tough Washington Invite and team still moved up to finish 3rd.

 2. Colorado - Top runners ran at Rocky Mountain Shootout and took it easy, first real competition at Pre-Nationals against Oregon  

3. Northern Arizona - Top 3 finished in top 6 at Washington Invite.  Still Developing 4-5 for a title run.

4. Oregon - Jenkins and Cheserek went 1-2 at Beantown, top 5 finished in first 10 at a good Battle in Beantown.  Coach Powell will easily be able to pick from depth that exhibited itself at Charles Bowles XC Invitational

5. Oklahoma State - Took first 11 spots at Jamboree with Erassa leading the way.  They get first real test at Pre-Nationals against Colorado and Oregon

6. Portland - Sat top 7 at Washington Invitational in anticipation of Wisconsin Adidas

7. Syracuse - Ran a strong second to Oregon at Battle-In-Beantown

8. Michigan - 1st at Notre Dame led by Mason Ferlic. Smoragiewicz is running much better this year. Also won Big 10 preview

9. Virginia - Team did not travel well and was fourth at Washington Invitational, has had a great season though. 

10. Villanova -Put performance from Paul Short and Washington Invitational together and it was a good weekend led by Tiernan's great run in Seattle.

11. Indiana - Did not run well in Washington but still have great returners and ran well earlier in the season.  They can change impressions at Pre-Nationals

12. Iona - 3rd at Virginia Panorama behind Virginia and Furman.  Freshman Gilbert Kirui is running well until '13 #1 Kieran Clements runs first race.

13. BYU - Won BYU Autumn against UCLA and then finished 2nd Notre Dame to Michigan.

14. Eastern Kentucky - Kosgey is doing well overcoming a slow starting Hessekbjerg. 5th at Notre Dame without everyone running well yet.  

15. UCLA - Was 2nd at Washington Invitational using pack running after finishing 2nd at BYU Autumn Invitational.

16. Providence - 3rd at Battle in Beantown without everyone running well

17. Furman - 2nd at Virginia Panorama and barely lost to Virginia and beat Iona.  Beat southern '13 NCAA teams in two previous meets too. 

18. Wisconsin - Probably keeping everything under wraps until Wisconsin Adidas.  In meets they have run, have not done well.

19. New Mexico - Finished third at Notre Dame with 5 of top 7 returning from last year's 11th place finish

20.. Arkansas - Good 1-2 in Kebenei and Gonzales but not much else yet...

21. Southern Utah - Won against a week Griak Field and finished 6th at Notre Dame.

22. Oklahoma - Against a tough Washington Invite Field they showed they belonged by finishing a very competitive 5th.

23. Michigan State - Have run well in the few meets they have had.  Will test themselves in two weeks.

24. Florida State - Working towards a return to the NCAA meet.

25. Colorado State - They have done well overcoming the transfer of #1 runner Jacob Morgan.  Finished a very close 2nd at a weak Griak, 7th at Notre Dame
