They haven't announced it yet.

But CMU and Stanford had the best times, so its a close call.

They said they will announce it tomorrow morning after tallying up the score . . .

I think Stanford got it because of the long delay waiting for MIT and Cornell to untangle which wasn't charged to their time total.  Stanford and CMU seemed to run really clean courses, so in any case, it will be close.

The MIT entry was a little scary.

surprised that no one thinks that Virginia Tech is a contender... they finished first, right?  I guess we will find out tomorrow!

No - Virginia finished 3rd and they had some trouble on course in the last round going off the road and not completing a parking task.  Otherwise, they were very impressive.
