1. Oklahoma Sooners

Average: 197.795
Previous ranking: 1

Oklahoma more or less cruised to victory on Saturday, winning by a point over a tough Metroplex field. We did, however, see a few more minor and medium mistakes creep in than we had seen in recent meets (and a couple backup routines in the lineups) as Oklahoma’s previously massive lead shrunk to just a couple tenths over Florida.

2. Florida Gators

Average: 197.525
Previous ranking: 2

Florida achieved a critical, convincing win against top conference rival LSU over the weekend with the 3rd-highest team total in program history. Some bonkers scoring notwithstanding, this was an excellent performance and the closest thing we’ve seen so far this season to an April-quality meet.

3. UCLA Bruins

Average: 196.933
Previous ranking: 3

UCLA will compete tonight (Monday) against Stanford. Stay tuned.

4. Utah Utes

Average: 196.825
Previous ranking: 5

Utah jumped one ranking spot by going 197.050 in a resounding victory over Arizona State, a solid performance though also one with enough small mistakes and counting 9.775s that the final score was not as high as Utah might have hoped. We’re starting to get to the point in the season where national title contenders are looking for at least 197.3s and 197.4s.

5. Denver Pioneers

Average: 196.819
Previous ranking: 4

Like most of the teams at Metroplex, Denver’s performance was characterized by a few more errors than usual—a wobbly beam, a couple OOBs on floor—which accounts for losing a ranking spot and a 196.575 score, the team’s low so far in 2020. Denver will, however, still be pleased about being able to have a slightly off day and still tie Alabama and beat Georgia.
