    Good looking top 10.

    UF is at UK this Friday night. The Wildcats knocked off Missouri in Columbia last Friday. Look for UK to give the Gators their best shot.

    UF needs to continue to tighten the rotations and increase starting values.

    On the floor, I'd like to see Alyssa Baumann start doing 3 passes of tumbling like the other top gymnasts. She did that up until this season.

    If Riley McCusker can add another performance routine, now would be the time to do that, health permitting. I saw a video on Dr. Sam's site in which Riley was looking good on a beam routine.

    It's good times in the SEC with 6 of the top 11. Anybody in the top 8 can get hot at the right time and make some noise.

    ESPN has a documentary on gymnastics coaches Suzanne Yoculan of Georgia and Sarah Paterson of Alabama and how their rivalry was instrumental in turning the deep south-college football crazy-into college gymnastics crazy. If you haven't watched it ETGator1 (I am sure you have), you def should check it out.
    I watched the Michigan meet yesterday. I know they were resting 2 of their AAs to limited action. Vey impressed with their UB lineup! Love their routines! Their Vaults are impressive. Notice who anchored Michigan's vault line-up? The only gymnast with a 9.95 start value. Overall they seemed a little tired. It will be interested to watch how they finish the season.

    With NQS standings beginning next week, here's a very good article in The Balance Beam Situation website on teams' current standings and the current NQS picture for the top 50 teams.

    Here's what they say on the current top 5:

    1. Michigan – 197.963
    Road Score 1 198.525
    Road Score 2 198.025
    Road Score 3
    Home/Road Score 1 197.950
    Home/Road Score 2 197.925
    Home/Road Score 3 197.750
    Current NQS: N/A
    Michigan has competed at only two road meets thus far so will not have an official NQS until after the Big Five meet this Friday. Sunday’s 197.600 was Michigan’s lowest home score of the season so far and was dropped so doesn’t influence the NQS.


    2. Florida – 197.638
    Road Score 1 197.775
    Road Score 2 196.975
    Road Score 3*
    Home/Road Score 1 198.250
    Home/Road Score 2 198.150
    Home/Road Score 3 197.675
    Current NQS: N/A
    Like Michigan, Florida will not have an NQS until after Friday’s meet because of the team’s home-heavy early schedule and road-heavy late schedule. Florida has the clear edge on Michigan in home scores, but with just one usable road score thus far compared to Michigan’s two road 198s, Florida will have to start getting the away results to keep up.

    3. Oklahoma – 197.604
    Road Score 1 197.900
    Road Score 2 196.650
    Road Score 3
    Home/Road Score 1 198.200
    Home/Road Score 2 198.050
    Home/Road Score 3 197.425
    Current NQS: N/A
    Oklahoma’s current setup is quite similar to Florida’s, with two home 198s and only one usable road score so far, though Oklahoma lost some ground this week when Florida got a 198 and Oklahoma had a beam dud. One difference in Oklahoma’s favor is that Oklahoma has a busier remaining schedule with 5 road-score opportunities still to come in addition to the home finale against Michigan.

    4. Utah – 197.496
    Road Score 1 197.750
    Road Score 2 197.275
    Road Score 3 197.100
    Home/Road Score 1 197.775
    Home/Road Score 2 197.675
    Home/Road Score 3 197.400
    Current NQS: 197.440
    Unlike the top 3, Utah has an NQS at this point, using that consistent slate of 197s to come up with an already competitive 197.440. The problem for Utah will be that every team ranked above them already has two 198s (one to drop and one to count) while Utah has none, so Utah’s potential to improve upon a #4 ranking will be largely handcuffed until those 198s come.

    5. LSU – 197.400
    Road Score 1 197.825
    Road Score 2 196.850
    Road Score 3
    Home/Road Score 1 197.975
    Home/Road Score 2 196.950
    Home/Road Score 3
    Current NQS: N/A
    LSU’s meet cancellations from earlier in the season mean the team has been slightly behind with the number of scores but will officially be caught up following this weekend’s two-meet adventure, with one road meet and one home meet to fill out the picture. With only two scores of LSU level so far, there is a bit more pressure to make sure the remaining meets are mostly good ones, but LSU does have six left.

    *Florida will have to count the 196.975 regardless of how they score this weekend (3 Away scores count). They (we) can drop it after the Auburn meet as long as they score higher in the next 2 away meets. There are 4 more away meets (Kentucky, Auburn, North Carolina State tri-meet and SECs) so a lot of chances to improve our NQS.

    The NQS matters because it determines both seeding and location in the regionals. The higher the seed the better. The 1 seed will get a better location than the 4 seed. The 1 seed gets an easier pass as well: 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be 1 facing 8 in a preferred location than 4 facing 5 in a disadvantageous distance location.

    But it's already been broken down here pretty clearly where the almost certain locations will be for us regardless of seed....it VERY unlikely to matter if we are 1-4. And if we can't finish top 2 in any regional then we have issues that won't matter anyway....I'm not overly concerned with 9-16 seeds in our region, I'm concerned with the health and performance status of UF. 9-16 aren't taking us down if we are healthy.
    I guess that's ultimately what it boils down to for me. We are fine regarding seeding barring catastrophe. The regular season is about taking care of business and setting the table for postseason....and thus far they have done exactly that. I don't care if the announcers for Missouri match didn't like something, I hope Jenny doesn't care either. I want her focused on what is best for UF long term. And that is building toward postseason.

    I'm not overly concerned with 9-16 either except in the first year of the new system UF didn't advance.

    I'm not willing to brush off the distance and facing a more difficult opponent in the same regional or better teams beyond that either.

    We'll just have to agree to disagree.

    If distance were a factor I might agree....just don't see any way UF will have travel based on the teams/locations this year.

    the year we didn’t advance, we got sent all the way to the west coast, and the way the seeds worked, we had to face a host who was also just out of the expected advancing seeds. We literally had to go there so they could keep the seeds intact based on where OSU was ranked. Dumbest thing ever and we got penalized for it. So essentially there were three teams for two spots, which was already a bad situation. And even with that, we fell off the beam twice and scored a 48.475 (really low for us even with a fall), which is what doomed us. And would doom us anywhere we went likely.
    This year the only host that has a good team is Auburn, and they are seeded to advance anyway. We could get sent to Seattle, but no teams there are any good, outside of OSU a state away. But the only way we would get sent to Seattle is if Utah doesn’t finish in the top 4, and we finish fourth. Just hope we don’t finish second and Auburn seventh and we are forced to go there.

    but none of the regionals should trouble us if we are half of what we think we are.

    Auburn, Champaign, Raleigh and Seattle. Florida's last 2 regular season meets are at Auburn and Raleigh. We will most likely end up at Raleigh or Auburn, depending on our seeding. Seeding is based on NQS standing: top 6 meet scores- 3 must be away- then drop the top score regardless of it being home or away. Add the next 5 (at least 3 away), then divide the total by 5. That is your NQS score. Same formula for individual competition. This is why regular season meets matter. They usually break it down to seeds. Host teams (Washington, Auburn, Illinois, N.C. State) stay at home and then they try to follow seeding: 1,8.9,16 then 2,7,10,15 then 3,6,11,14 and finally 4,5,12,13. 17-36 seeds are placed depending on seed+location (each regional has 9 teams). Michigan will go to Champaign. If we are seeded 2 and Auburn is seeded 7, then we go to Auburn. Same if we are seeded 1 and Auburn #8. Otherwise, we go to Raleigh.
    1st day of regionals the lowest 2 seeds in each regional play-in for a spot for the semis, which will consist of 2 meets, 4 teams in each semifinal meet. Top 2 in each semifinal advance to regional final. Top 2 finishes in each regional final (8 total) advance to Nationals. Both semifinals will have 4 teams. Top 2 advance to Final 4.
