Taking down Jaune (unless he improves greatly off screen by that time) is a given. Not sure about Ren and Nora. Ren didn't do all that well during the food fight but then again, he went against Yang. Ren is still, after all, the guy who took down 3 King Taiju on his own. And Nora, Nora took down almost all team Ruby one on one on her own during the food fight, she rode an Ursa and blasted Yang through the roof so high she didn't fall back until over a min later. Nora is extremely physically strong, even if someone a lot bigger than her goes against her, she has the advantage of being a short person wielding a long ranged weapon. And I got the impression Ren is always by her side anyway, so I don't think CRDL can single either of them for an ambush. My best bet is that Nora&Ren will happen not to be around.

As for team CRDL's motivations, it could be anything, but I say a combination of status and family tradition, the later, at least for Cardin. Russel looks like a punk wannabe, and Dove and Sky like rich kids trying to be bad.
