2023 NCAA Men’s Formchart #4 — Arkansas Pulling Away

A 6-POINT FAVORITE in our first formchart of the year, field-strong Arkansas doubled that margin in the second set of projections, added 3 more in the crystal ball’s third iteration of the year and in the final round of prognostication has upped its superiority to 20.

There are only 3 new event-winners since last time: Udodi Onwuzurike (Stanford) 100, Ryan Willie (Florida) 400, Yusuf Bizima (Texas) 800, Duncan Hamilton (Montana State) steeple & Darius Luff (Nebraska) 110H.

This chart was prepared after final entries were announced by the NCAA. The 10-deep predictions for each event (‘ = athlete not eligible for U.S. international teams):
