The LSU Gymnastics team took apart #4,6 & 9 ranked teams in the country in January, two of them on the road. Yet, they remain the # 2 team based upon the convoluted ranking process. The victory margins were like a football team winning by two to four touchdowns. This team is loaded with talent from top to bottom and puts on a show like none other. They are focused on bringing home the title this year.

If anything I would think that would mean they COULD be overrated. What I mean by that is LSU has gone against great competition. So they've stepped their game up time and again. Meanwhile, other teams that competed against lesser competition might've used a larger rotation of girls/not exactly put their best possible product on the floor in an attempt for younger gymnasts to garner experience.
Just a thought.
I think if gymnastics rankings had the same criteria as other sports, LSU would be the unquestioned #1.This post was edited on 1/30/17 at 3:31 pm

You can't really think about this like you do football, or baseball, or any head-to-head sport
The rankings are completely determined by RQS (Regional qualifying score)
Top 6 meet score (3 must be road score) drop high and low and avg the 4.... until there are enough qualifying meets you average the existing scores.
Oklahoma has out averaged LSU so far this year. Now the judging is very subjective, but they will both be on the same floor in a 4 team meet in St Louis in a few weeks.... This should give us a good gauge as you watch them head-to-head
But I will tell you I have watch some of Oklahoma's meets online, and they are every bit as good as advertised.
It will be an epic battle for two days in April in St Louis Missouri

Who you beat is pretty irrelevant in gymnastics

Is there any fear that they have peaked too early?

There is nothing wrong with the ranking process. Calm your jets.
Also there are like 4 teams annually who have a remote shot at winning the title. Beating number 9 is not overly impressive. The title goes through OU regardless. Ladies have a legit shot this year.
