NAU unchallenged in Madison - Men's Wisconsin FloRating Projections
Back when we started using FloRatings to predict and/or project cross country races, we wondered if we'd have enough data to score out entire races. For fun, of course. Thankfully, the Wisconsin adidas Invitational start list is packed with quality teams that have already run quality races.

So rather than tell you about some of the probable top finishers at Wisconsin this Saturday (because you most likely already know the person's running resume anyway), we thought we would project the entire meet. What started as a top 10 evolved into a "Oh what the heck - 366."

The individual finishers for all 35 teams is listed below. We used this season's FloRating data, sorted out the teams, and listed them based on performance. The drawback is that some individual's best races came back in early September while others only started to race more recently. We also had to add in a few runners of note who have yet to run a big race this season (Northern Arizona's Matt McElroy, Portland's top five, Wisconsin's Rob Finnerty, the Texas men, and the Florida men). I would manually change some FloRatings to reflect where I think certain individuals will place (Michigan?!), but I didn't want to alter everything too much. Plus, I wanted to see what would actually happen just based on the numbers.

In any case, here's our Men's Virtual Wisconsin adidas Invitational meet.

Update: We added #17 Providence, Air Force, and Texas A&M.
