At the beginning of the season I gave my predictions for those collegians I felt were the favorites to win their respective events in Eugene. Seems like a good time to update that list as they begin to position themselves and their teams. <\/p>\n<p>Looking back at the first list I don\u2019t see that many changes. Mostly because there really isn\u2019t much of a collegiate season \u2013 mostly competing on the relay circuit. So as we really get into the \u201cchampionship\u201d portion of the collegiate season I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll begin to get a better idea of just where all the athletes really are. Which means I\u2019ll probably have to come back just before Nationals for one final update. So following is how I see things as everyone prepares to head into battle. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>2010 MEN\u2019S COLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIIP FAVORITES<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\"
