I'll be there this weekend, twittering and covering it for House of Run.
To truly enjoy a race, you've got to know who the favorites are and who the underdogs with a legitimate chance are.
On the men's side, I'm calling it for Oklahoma State over Stanford. The outside shot goes to Wisconsin. A under-appreciated contender for one of the four trophies is Colorado. Sam Chelanga of Liberty is the overwhelming favorite to win, with Northern Arizona's David McNeill a nearly equally overwhelming favorite for second.
In the women's race, Villanova is a strong favorite. If they falter, Florida State is most likely to take the title. The individual race is considered wide open; my super-secret gambling-based predictor calls it for Sheila Reid.
