Where you guys get the idea that we were seeded 4th as if it was set in stone is baffling to me.

Texas A&M was ranked 1st and LSU 2nd. The form chart is incredibly misleading. LSU had as good a shot as anyone except maybe Texas A&M.

Track and Field News's formcharts are utterly laughable. Were they to be tried in a court of Taste and Decency, they would be found wanting.

TFN used to be relevant in the 70s and 80s. Now, they get by on their name and the fact that no one else really cares to cover athletics in the form of a monthly magazine anymore. Garry Hill (the owner/editor) is no longer particularly interested in making relevant predictions; he would rather spend his time in bars and insinuating himself with popular athletes.

If you want some really good (or bad) humour, check out T&FN's Olympic Trials formcharts. No one who has paid even the smallest amount of attention to athletics over the past 18 months could possibly make picks as ghastly as theirs.
