NQS has kicked in with less than a month to spare before conference championships begin, meaning lots of movement throughout the national team and individual standings. Oklahoma, however, remains a fixture at the top, leading the way on every event except floor where it’s second to LSU. Given the Sooners’ record-breaking performance Friday night in which they went 49.7-plus on three events, we don’t anticipate their giving up the top spot(s) any time soon.
However, they weren’t the only team making history in Week 8: According to stats wizard Drew Porche, 21 teams tied or set program records in week eight. Even accounting for overscoring, teams across the board delivered some of their most outstanding gymnastics this weekend.
Teams
1. Oklahoma, 198.675
2. California, 198.400
3. Utah, 198.075
4. Florida, 198.150
5. LSU, 197.950
6. Michigan State, 197.275
We probably sound like a broken record at this point, but Oklahoma and California continue to be the clear top two thanks to the unmatched polish and consistency they’ve shown throughout the entire season. Both teams set new program-record totals over the weekend, proving they’re only getting sharper as the season progresses.
Meanwhile, the Utes have put themselves firmly back in the championship conversation…
