It’s an in-state rivalry showdown as No. 10 Auburn travels to face No. 15 Alabama!

With NQS reshuffling the rankings this week, Auburn holds steady in the top 10 after last weekend’s dual meet with Florida. The Tigers struggled on bars—the only event not cracking a 49—but still secured a solid away score to bolster their standing heading into week eight. The team is likely still adjusting lineups following Olivia Hollingsworth’s injury two meets ago, but will aim to continue building consistency across all events as the season enters its back half.

Meanwhile, Alabama is in need of a strong home score to climb the rankings after a 196.750 last Friday. Despite several solid outings this season, the Crimson Tide has yet to post a big number, with its season-high 197.075 coming at its last home meet. Beam has been the biggest hurdle for Alabama, but competing in Coleman Coliseum should help the team settle in and hit its potential. The Tide will also ride the momentum of eight 9.9+ scores last week, including a perfect 10 from Lily Hudson on floor.

With both teams gaining steam, this evenly matched rivalry comes down to who can put all the pieces together for the win—and the bigger score.
