Ok, time for folks to put their predictions out there. Like dweiss stated, I don't see a "Stanford" this year, and pretty much chalk. Mich State and Kentucky are probably the most intriguing on could go either way, but I see Mich State with too high of a ceiling to not advance. Only potential...

Agreed. Has nothing to do with OU or Lily.

Ive said from the beginning, LSU is the favorite. This was supposed to be their year, not last year. They "stole" one last year. All the other teams (OU, UCLA, Florida) would have to have what would have to be considered now an uncharacteristic stuck night at nationals to beat them. Or LSU...

Im going to go with never wanting to be in the host team's regional when the host is in that 10-14 seed range. Whether home cooking, home crowd or just advantage of familiarity its a huge wildcard.

I agree, NQS is preferable to W/L. Its a closer representative of the performance of the team. I have no issues with Arkansas being left out given how they have performed throughout the season. They are the lowest performing team in the SEC. They "beat" LSU and Florida as a result of those...

If I recall correctly, only the Stanford regional last year would be truly an upset in my opinion. I tend to call it an upset where there were no major errors counted. I know that Oregon state regional Florida had to count at least one, maybe two falls. I think the same with Kentucky...

Idk, nothing I have seen from Michigan indicates they have a higher ceiling than MSU or Kentucky. Same with Denver and Arizona. Maybe Arizona if I squint. Denver has not been the Denver of the last couple of years. Of course the normal disclaimer applies, counting a fall opens the door for...

I agree, although I think Penn State is harder solely based on the competition for the second spot. MSU and Kentucky are very very close. I think there is a little more (not a lot) separation between Mizzou and Georgia.

Now that the regular season is over, I have to say, I was pretty close with my predictions/overview. Biggest miss was obviously Arkansas. Very disappointing season, maybe the pregnancy has been distracting? Either way, I expected them to carry the momentum from the end of last year into this...

Idk, so much discussion and interest is being generated by this, who is going to be left out of SEC's I can imagine the folks upstairs are pretty happy with it.

If that holds, the Utah regional looks pretty tough for that second spot to nationals, with Oregon State and Stanford licking their chops for UCLA or Utah to have an off day. Although it would have to be a cataclysmic day for Utah to not go through at home. Penn State could be interesting...

Yes, coaches can make changes up till the first competitor goes. Auburn is well known to have 8 girls warm up for the event and decide the line-ups based upon the warm-up.

I know, and I am sure not all those athletes are M to F which seems to be focus of the hubris.

This article just came out which discusses the new administration and its impact on the upcoming NCAA settlement: Trump Has a Funny Way of Protecting Women’s Sports Its behind a paywall, but the TLDR version is the Trump administration under the claim of protecting womens' sports from trans...

That is interesting. I didnt know about the 400 mile rule. But does make sense.
