Superfan Daily: Men's College Power Rankings

Almost the only that happened last weekend in college track were "last chance" meets, where teams get a last-ditch effort to qualify athletes or relay teams to the NCAA Championships.  As such, it doesn't really affect the top 25 much.  As the season is over for the vast majority of teams, I'll do something different this week.
