On this week’s podcast, Ben and Garrett break down the first wave of our NCAA XC Preseason Top-25 Team Rankings — and debate which programs got snubbed. The guys start with the “just missed” and “honorable mention” squads before revealing the first three ranked men’s and women’s teams in the countdown. From surprise inclusions to glaring omissions, the guys dissect Virginia Tech, Virginia, Oklahoma, Florida State, Tulane and Boise State in our latest episode. Expect plenty of bold takes, a few disagreements and some early-season storylines to watch. Be sure to listen, subscribe and review!
