For USA, their Baseball team is University of Iowa, women's Basketball is University of Maryland, men's Basketball is Purdue University, Track and Field is University of Houston, Tennis is UCLA, and Water Polo has many players from Stanford University

Are those good colleges/universities in those respective (team) sports?

Quick look on NCAA's website suggests Maryland's women's basketball is one of the best and Purdue's men's basketball is definitely rather good as well, interesting.

Purdue men are good, but I can't say they are sure gold medalists.

These are solid but not the best teams in those sports, the two basketball teams for example were top 16 and top 32 in this year's NCAA tournaments

Artistic Gymnastics entry lists are out which means @thiago_simoes can analyze and tell us who will win the medals, because he's rather good at that https://www.2017.taipei/atosLinks/51dc43ec-e628-4307-82e1-233305842972?00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Well, I'm not @thiago_simoes, but Canada should fight for the podium in women's team, and I'd expect Ukraine to clinch men's title.

I guess it's hard to know where these teams are in terms of performance, given that basically they never play against each other (unlike 'normal' national teams). It would have been nicer from a betting perspective if USA sent some Division 3 teams again and bookmakers would think 'oh they're Americans, they're really good!', opening a good chance to make the bookies poorer :d

You notice that this specific link goes to a page that's not all integrated in that awful Taipei 2017 website, right? That means it should in theory be possible to go to the general schedule/results/athletes page too, without using the one integrated in the Taipei 2017 website...just gotta figure out how :p 

 

In case I'm not clear: many multi-sports events have the sportresult.com thing embedded/integrated in their website, but you can simply go to eventxxx.sportresult.com and get rid of the official website, leaving only the schedule/results page, like this:
