2021 NCAA Men’s Formchart #2 — LSU Looks Unbeatable

“UNBEATABLE” IS PRETTY STRONG STUFF, but LSU’s men now look to be ready to join the ranks of the all-time NCAA Championships powerhouses. Since the current scoring system was adopted for the ’85 meet, no school has ever broken the 90-point barrier — Dennis Shaver’s Tigers are now projected to not only break that milestone, but also the 100 level, with 103. That would crush the previous best, 88 by Oregon ’14.

So good is LSU that it could (heaven forbid) lose the services of projected HJ/LJ double winner JuVaughn Harrison and still have a 24-point margin over No. 2 seed Oregon (59). Harrison should have plenty of company on the top step of the podium, as 4 other Bengals are forecasted to win: Terrance Laird (200), Noah Williams (400), Damion Thomas (110H), Sean Burrell (400H).

Overall, the LSU juggernaut is predicted to have 17 scorers, failing to notch points only in the 800, 1500, steeple, 5000, 10,000, PV (imagine if Mondo hadn’t turned pro!), SP, DT & decathlon.
