Texas - 15
Florida - 14
Arkansas - 13
LSU - 12
Texas A&M - 11
Alabama - 10
I haven't crunched the numbers, but to me these are the teams fighting for a shot at the national title! To me it'll be close, but I think Alabama could be the favorites! Texas and Florida have the most in, but a lot of them barely squeezed in! Alabama has a few guys in but they're all highly ranked! Arkansas can win two of the jumps and has Lance Lang sprinting as well as a few multis! Florida has a couple sprinters mixed with field events, and LSU has some sprinters and should win the 4x100
Our path to the title runs through our 800 group! We have to get as many as we can into that final and score more than 15 in that event! We will also need points in the 400, and Jaqualon Scott to get on the podium in the 100 hurdles and hopefully score in the 400 hurdles as well as Bryce McCray, but that event is loaded! Victor Kibiego winning the steeple would be legendary and really help us! Sam Hankins hasn't been himself lately but he showed up at this meet last year, so let's hope he can get healthy fast! Then it may all come down to the 4x400… we will need a lot of parity in the sprints and have these teams beat each other up and split the pie! We need Bama to lose points in the 10k, Florida and LsU to not go big in the field events, and Arkansas' multis to slip up and for them to struggle in the field events! It's gonna be close, but as Pat Henry says "we all need to have the best day on the same day"
