"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.
The invited time means if you swim that time, you're invited. The reason for the others "below the line" is these people made it in other events or relays, so they get to swim other events they made the B cut in. Looking at the Big West results, I see UCSB's fastest 50 freestyler swam a 19.68 in prelims. This is below the line (19.48). If UCSB had qualified a relay he'd get to swim the individual event, too.
Thanks for the explanation. I used to swim with the guy that posted the 19.68, so I was just wondering how the "invited" system works.
