1.LSU - 197.785
2.Florida - 197.495
3.Alabama - 197.285
4.Georgia - 197.005
5.Kentucky - 196.750
6.Missouri - 196.540
7.Auburn - 196.135
8.Arkansas - 195.775




The championship is broken up into two sessions, with the top 4 seeds competing in the second session is at 5 PM this Saturday and it will be televised by the SECN

As the number one seed, LSU will go through olympic order, so Vault, then bars, then beam, and last floor.

Florida will start on the bars, Alabama will start on beam and Georgia will start on floor.

Bearing a unseen collapse, this meet should be only between Florida and LSU.

This should be the year where we take home the title in this meet.

LSU currently ranks #1 in the country on vault, #3 on bars, and 2nd on beam and floor just behind Oklahoma.

Projected Lineup:

The vault lineup should be very similar to what we have seen, I expect Cannamela to lead off on vault. That last spot will either go to Finnegan or Priessman depending on how her knee is. Also, the staff will have to decide if Hambrick should compete her 1 1/2 or just the full.

Bars:
Zamardi, Hambrick, Harrold, Edney, Finnegan, and Priessman

Beam:
Macadaeg, Hambrick, Ewing, Li, Finnegan, Gnat

Floor:

Ewing, Zamardi, Hambrick, Edney, Kelley, Gnat

Vault anchor has been Bugs. I don't expect that to change.

Look for the floor lineup to possibly change. I think Finnegan might take Edney's spot.

I also think Sarah's triple wolf will be permanently abandoned.

Everything else looks good. I'm expecting them to bring home the ship.



ETA: just realized you didn't mean the anchor. I think Ruby is a possibility to slide into the vault lineup.

It's been a fantastic season so far. Time to perform like we know we're capable of, and bring home the championship.

Li v. Edney for that 4th Beam Spot. You know DD is working them crazy to get them ready, but as I have previously stated, this meet being in Jacksonville is a bit of a worry because Florida is gonna get home type scoring. Should be fun though!

I think vault will only have one of Cannamela or Finnegan, not both. Cannamela has better amplitude and when she sticks she can get a better score than Finnegan, IMO. Finnegan has gorgeous form but the judges hit her for lack of height and distance and she tends to land in a squat. LSU needs to vault all the 10 SV vaults they are comfortable with. Priessman should be out. She is too injury prone and we will absolutely need her on bars at Nationals. I think Hambrick should do the 1 1/2 since it is on a podium but her full can certainly hit 9.9 which is all we need at SECs. My lineup would be:

Cannamela
Harrold/Kelley (whomever is vaulting best)
Ewing
Hambrick
Edney
Gnat

The more that I think about it the more I think Kelley needs to vault in competition again. If she can hit her vault then LSU could go into Nationals with a lineup of all 10.0 vaults. The only team in the country that would have that and it would give us the advantage over Oklahoma (assuming we can stick some of them) on vault that just might be enough to make up for what we lack on bars. LSU is also so good on vault that we can risk Kelley not vaulting her best because our other scores should be solid (if Kelley vaults and misses then Hambrick only does the full).

Oh, and Bama is absolutely in the mix to win this thing. They ALWAYS peak for post-season and they have the talent to beat anyone. LSU should win if they hit to their potential but even small mistakes would be enough for a hot Bama to take the lead. I actually expect Bama to beat Florida, I think Florida looks more rough now than they did earlier in the season.

I am not worried about Florida getting home scoring, not during a big meet like SECs. However, they will have the home crowd and momentum is a real thing. Their fans could spur them on to a better performance than they have been showing.

And if we don't stick a minimum of 3 bar dismounts then I have lost hope for a National title. At this point in the season this is a horrifying problem and Zamardi has not stuck a dismount in 2 years (wait, she stuck one) and as our lead off she sets the tone. Unfortunately, not a very good one.
