Oregon men favored at NCAA Indoor

Given how tight the packing of the teams is, timewise, other considerations might come into play. Even the #10, 11, etc teams have top times. Looking at the ND meet, there was a lot of congestion at the handoffs because things were tight. It might help having a clear path through the exchange zone even if you were a fast team in a 'slow' heat.

One hopes that the NCAA's seeding method will be to take the 18 DM teams and split them 1-9 and 10-18, rather than some "weave" method that would put #1 Arkansas in one section and #2 Oregon in the other.

Imagine, Texas is at 9:30.77 (or "9:30.77"?) and can't crack the top-seeded group.

What will make the meet unusually exciting is that Oregon and Arkansas will be going head-to-head in several of the events that are important for both teams.
