📡 🤸 GymTide- 2026: No. 3 Alabama loses on the road to #2 LSU but high scores continue for Tide...

Is there ever an upset in this?

Is it a loss? It's a score going into a group of scores. LSU would still be ranked #2 if Bama would have recorded a higher score. They are sitting on two 198+'s at home this season.

He is correct t though, LSU's floor exercise rotation was nowhere near the scores they were given. You could see on the gymnasts' faces during their routine they were off snd still received 9.9 and higher.

IMO, it's a home floor bump more so than it is a rankings bump. Personally, and this is just a theory, but I think it's done on purpose to keep attendance as high as possible. The scores seem to even out and be more "fair" starting with the postseason meets.

That's part of the reason I mention the scoring. Well, a lot of the reason. Still, gotta go back to those two 198's. One will come off, but Bama hasn't hit that mark. They're back at LSU this next meet and probably won't.

I don't know how many OU has had this season...can't remember.

It's basically seeding, ya?

Oklahoma almost looks flawless.

Can we get Simone Biles in on an NIL deal? Now that her Olympic career is over. I know she’s acquired some enhancements since she retired, but even with the big twins, she’d still probably be the best in the competitions.

 

[UA Press Release]

"Back-to-back competitions here in Baton Rouge – lots of intense moments and environment that felt very championship-like at times, and I'm really proud of our team for being gritty and being resilient. I said really similar things when we competed at LSU a couple days ago, and I saw it again. I didn't see any tired energy. I saw them continue to fight, continue to find ways to get better and continue to be unfazed. They had a great performance tonight, and I think, at times, the scores didn't reflect that, and that was really frustrating and could've been something to really distract them from the mission. But they were unfazed and continued to fight and find ways to put an exclamation mark on their performance. Another great step in the right direction as we prepare for another doubleheader next weekend."
