    UCLA will be very dangerous in post-season. They are red hot and only getting better!

    Minnesota could very well be in the Raleigh regional seeded right behind Florida

    If Regional Selection was today, according to latest NQS standings, this would be the seeds (Auburn scored too low to drop their lowest score and Alabama was off this weekend. So they remain tied):
    1. Oklahoma
    2. Florida
    3. Michigan
    4. Utah
    5. LSU
    6. Auburn
    6. Alabama
    8. Minnesota

    Norman Regional:
    Oklahoma, Minnesota
    Raleigh Regional:
    Florida, Alabama
    Auburn Regional:
    Michigan, Auburn
    Seattle Regional:
    Utah, LSU

    I'd rather have the 1 seed and Minnesota.

    I agree. I have UCLA and Michigan State as dark horses with outside chances of advancing out of regionals. Michigan State lost a close meet at Kentucky this week:

    Spartan Gymnastics Continues Record-Setting Ways at Kentucky - Michigan State University Athletics (msuspartans.com)

    The Spartans are young/inexperienced, but they are physical, aggressive, and talented. It's a good Michigan State team. They may not be a top 8 talent, but they are knocking on the door.

    I don't like the idea of facing Alabama in two consecutive meets. But the top two teams advance, and there's no way we'll stumble again like we did in 2019 and finish third. It could very well be that an SEC team ends up in Seattle. If Utah ends up 3rd or 4th then it will very well be Alabama or LSU? They'll find out very quickly how tough it is to travel cross-country and have enough energy to leap, flip, balance, twist, grip, point toes, split, smile, land...in back-to-back meets. That's an energy-strapping schedule. Not only are you dealing with jet-lag, a 3 hour time difference and your body's fighting to acclimate, you then have to compete twice under immense pressure while hoping your body fights off fatigue and achy muscles. aThey are having to compete when in the back of your mind you know fatigued legs could lead to serious injury.

    And hungry! Remember they only competed briefly last year and then had to watch Michigan win it all...

    There were still quite a few more NC State fans than Gators, but we were louder (had way much more to cheer for).
