"NCAA Division I Men's Championships Psych Sheet "As If" -- March 11, 2009
PHOENIX, Arizona, March 11. ONCE again, Swimming World superfan John Bremer comes through with another quick turnaround on scoring the psych sheet of the NCAA Division I Men's Championships. Last week, Bremer provided us with the early "on paper" favorite for the women's meet – Georgia. Today, he scored the men's psych sheet.
Not counting diving, which will begin to be determined with Zone Diving this weekend, Auburn is the favorite with 434 points. Stanford takes a close second with 429.5 points, while Texas has 407 points. California (383) and defending champ Arizona (261.5) round out the top five in the "as if" scoring. Florida (256), Michigan (243), Virginia (177), Tennessee (143) and Georgia (94) make up the top 10."

I say Texas takes it.
It should be a great meet and very competitive at the top. I saw the Big XII meet on TV the other night and they didn't look very tapered (especially Walters and Klueh) and were still swimming well. Hard to disagree with you on Texas, but what happened with Scott Spann? It doesn't look like he is swimming. I could have sworn he swam a duel meet for Texas in late 2008, but I haven't seen his name since. Is he injured or did he redshirt?
Tim
Tim, nice catch...I missed that! just checked with a friend down there and found out he's out with a very serious staff infection...scary stuff and wish him the best.
And that may cost them the win....
