I feel like we've got an edge at 5 and 6, with the rest too close to call.  I'd like to see Doyle get back on track, too, but I've got a hunch that Hardebeck's match will be the decider. 

Comparing the most recent (and maybe only--I haven't done the research) common opponent in C.al, here are some tea leaves to read:

Oklahoma State won the doubles point vs. C.al, and we lost it versus C.al, but we already know that Oklahoma State doubles is legit. 

At #1 singles, Zhao beat C.al's Manasse 6-1, 6-4, while Oklahoma State's Adamovic just beat her 6-4, 6-2.  Not much to take from that. 

At #2, C.al's Klara Fabikova beat Davidson 6-4, 6-4, while beating Oklahoma State's Babic 6-3, 7-6.  Again, not much to take from that.

At #3, Doyle beat C.al's Lynn Chi in three sets, and so did Oklahoma State's Lushkova.  See id. 

At #4, Hardebeck beat C.al's Denise Starr 6-2, 6-3, and Oklahoma State's Laurente beat her 6-4, 6-3.  Same story.

At #5, Lampl beat C.al's Olivia Hauger in three sets, while Hauger beat Oklahoma State's Stresnakova 6-2, 6-4.  Based on this scientific sample of two whole matches, I'll give Lampl the edge.

At #6, C.al's Karla Popovic just barely beat Lord, 7-6, 7-5, while Popovic easily dispatched Oklahoma State's Carla Tur Mari 6-1, 6-2.  By the same rationale, I'll give Lord an edge. 

So, as it's been lately, it'll be our back courts that need to carry us.
