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


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

Oklahoma has a freshman, Maggie Nichols, who is scoring lights out.

Yeah, I know but just making teh point what an incredible month they had to to defeat those very good teams with plenty to spare. BAMA pushed them but still got beat handily at home. LSU is still dealing with a few injuries, getting Ruby Harrold into college mode and out of elite Olympics mindset, and helping Sydney Ewing restore her confidence.

There is still a lot of upside for this team before it is over. Probably the same for most teams so it will come down to who brings their AAA game when all the marbles are on the line. DD and the Tigers are due for their one shining moment.
