With only two weeks left of competition before the regionals bracket is released, the postseason field is beginning to take shape. Which teams have likely secured their position and which have work left to do? We’re breaking down every bubble team’s qualification scenario.
Regionals Projections: Teams
Here are the projected regionals placements if the current standings were to hold, attempting to take geography into account.
| University Park | Seattle | Tuscaloosa | Salt Lake City |
| 1. Oklahoma | 2. LSU | 3. Florida | 4. UCLA |
| 8. Michigan State | 7. Missouri | 6. California | 5. Utah |
| 9. Georgia | 10. Kentucky | 12. Alabama | 11. Oregon State |
| 16. Arkansas | 15. Minnesota | 14. Auburn | 13. Stanford |
| 17. Michigan | 20. Nebraska | 19. N.C. State | 18. Denver |
| 23. Ohio State | 21. Arizona | 24. North Carolina | 22. Southern Utah |
| 25. Penn State | 26. Arizona State | 27. Clemson | 28. Boise State |
| 30. Maryland | 33. Iowa | 29. Illinois | 31. Utah State |
| 35. Towson | 34. Central Michigan | 36. George Washington | 32. BYU |
This week the typical arrangement of the top 16 seeds led to a hosting conflict between Utah and Alabama in the far right column, so we switched Alabama and Oregon State to resolve the conflict. Teams in bold are within 400 miles of the host so they are allocated to that regional automatically; as with last week’s bracket, there are six teams ranked between 17 and 36 in proximity to University Park, so we elected to move George Washington to another regional. It is not certain that this is what the committee would do.
Bubble Watch: Teams
Road to Nationals debuted its “Regionals Locked In” chart this week, so we’ll be taking a look at every team who is not at least “likely locked” or “likely out” of a regionals berth. This year 25 teams meet that criteria, a striking difference to last year when we only had four remaining bubble teams at this point in the season. The potential for drama is high!
Scores in bold can no longer be replaced, and crossed-out scores are the current season high (which gets dropped from the final NQS calculation). Scores with an asterisk are replaceable this coming weekend. If a team has two meets this weekend, the max NQS is calculated using its current season high plus a full point for both meets. For example, if a team’s season high is 197.125 and it has a double meet weekend, its max NQS is calculated by plugging in a score of 198.125 for both meets.
No. 24 North Carolina
| Current NQS | 196.125 |
| Highest three road scores | 196.200, 196.150, 195.775 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.275 |
| Highest possible ranking | 23 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 32 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 1 road |
North Carolina was actually listed as “likely locked” when RTN’s regionals locked chart was first released this past weekend, but then the Pitt-WVU meet went final (with both teams securing season highs by a significant amount), and UNC failed to post an NQS-counting score at Elevate the Stage, which combined was enough to make the Tar Heels a little more vulnerable. However, as the highest-ranked bubble team, it will likely move back into the safe status if it can improve its NQS at all this weekend. While it should be safe to make regionals, it is very vulnerable to falling into the range of teams competing in the first round.
Score to watch: 196.350 would prevent Clemson from being able to catch UNC.
No. 25 Penn State
| Current NQS | 196.085 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 196.525, 196.325, 195.775 |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.280 |
| Highest possible ranking | 23 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 33 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Penn State and North Carolina have the same season high, but Penn State has a lower score available to drop this weekend, meaning its NQS ceiling is slightly higher. While it is likely that at least two teams within 400 miles of University Park will qualify to regionals with a lower ranking than the Nittany Lions, they will still want to do as much as possible to earn a high ranking going into bracket selection in order to avoid the first round.
Score to watch: 196.675 would guarantee a higher ranking than North Carolina on Monday.
No. 26 Arizona State
| Current NQS | 196.065 |
| Highest three road scores | 196.000, 195.950*, 195.675* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| Maximum NQS after this weekend | 196.580 |
| Highest possible ranking | 19 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 35 |
| Meets remaining | 3 road |
Arizona State is the highest ranked of the five (!) bubble teams with two meets this weekend, and the large range in possible rankings reflects that. While the Sun Devils cannot fall below the regionals cutline this weekend, they will want to take advantage of two road opportunities to replace those sub-196 scores with much higher totals. Doing so would likely move them to regionals locked status and potentially guarantee a first-round bye as well.
Score to watch: A 196.400 in either meet would keep ASU ahead of Clemson going into conference championship weekend.
No. 27 Clemson
| Current NQS | 196.055 |
| Highest three road scores | 196.475, 196.225, 195.800 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.205 |
| Highest possible ranking | 24 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 35 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 1 road |
Because of the potential for the University Park and Salt Lake City regionals to affect the geographic distribution of the play-in teams in the bracket, teams not in geographic proximity to either of those locations will really want to be ranked in the top 26 to feel secure in their first round bye. That means Clemson has some work to do. The Tigers are vulnerable to being passed by several teams this weekend, including some with double meets, so they will need to take advantage of their final home scoring opportunity and increase their season high to put themselves in the best possible position next week.
Scores to watch: 196.475 would prevent Iowa from passing Clemson in the rankings, and 196.200 would make it possible to pass North Carolina.
No. 28 Boise State
| Current NQS | 195.980 |
| Highest three road scores | 196.300, 195.975, 195.900 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.105 |
| Highest possible ranking | 25 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 36 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 1 road |
Boise State’s NQS-counting scores are bunched closely together, so the Broncos will have a difficult time moving up the rankings over the final two weeks unless they can raise their season high significantly this weekend.
Score to watch: 196.275 would prevent both Illinois and Utah State from passing.
No. 29 Illinois
| Current NQS | 195.965 |
| Highest three road scores | 196.200, 195.900, 195.300 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.070 |
| Highest possible ranking | 26 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 36 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 1 road |
Illinois has the same season high as North Carolina and Penn State but is ranked this low due to the 195.300 currently factoring into its NQS. Unfortunately, the Illini won’t get a chance to replace that score until next week since they’re at home this weekend.
Score to watch: 196.400 would guarantee a higher ranking than BYU on Monday.
No. 30 Maryland
| Current NQS | 195.940 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 196.125, 195.750*, 195.725* |
| Maximum NQS after this weekend | 196.375 |
| Highest possible ranking | 21 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 36 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 2 road |
With a double meet weekend and a streak of three 196-plus scores in a row, Maryland is in great shape to move up a few spots in the rankings if the Terps keep up the momentum. However, that 196.325 season high is the lowest of any team ranked in the top 33, which will limit their ceiling. If they want to ultimately avoid the first round, they need to increase their season high by several tenths this weekend.
Score to watch: 196.100 would prevent BYU from being able to pass Maryland.
No. 31 Utah State
| Current NQS | 195.840 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 196.300, 195.725, 195.325* |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.070 |
| Highest possible ranking | 26 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 36 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
With over a point between the season high and the score that can be replaced this weekend, Utah State has a chance to increase its NQS significantly and move up several spots in the rankings.
Score to watch: 196.425 would make it possible for the Aggies to pass Clemson.
No. 32 BYU
| Current NQS | 195.790 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.900, 195.825, 195.800 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.010 |
| Highest possible ranking | 28 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 37 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
BYU is the first team in this list capable of dropping out of regionals qualifying position this weekend, though that would require many specific things to happen, making it unlikely. However, that doesn’t mean the likelihood of falling out of contention next week will be unlikely, so the Cougars will need to score as high as possible this weekend to reduce their vulnerability going into conference championship weekend.
Score to watch: 195.925 would guarantee at least a top 36 ranking on Monday.
No. 33 Iowa
| Current NQS | 195.775 |
| Highest three road scores | 196.350, 195.200, 195.000* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 196.180 |
| Highest possible ranking | 24 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 37 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
With its 197.025 season high and a 195.000 available to drop this weekend, Iowa has a fantastic opportunity to move up the rankings if the team can replicate that home performance on the road.
Scores to watch: 196.675 would guarantee passing Boise State, and 196.500 would guarantee passing both Illinois and Utah State.
No. 34 Central Michigan
| Current NQS | 195.665 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.850, 195.750, 195.600 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.765 |
| Highest possible ranking | 34 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 40 |
| Meets remaining | 2 home |
Central Michigan cannot improve its ranking this week, owing to its small range in NQS-counting scores, but it can focus on improving its chances next week by setting a new season against Northern Illinois on Friday. A 196.000 season high will likely not be enough to qualify to regionals.
Score to watch: 195.975 would guarantee Washington cannot pass the Chippewas.
No. 35 Towson
| Current NQS | 195.660 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.650, 195.600, 195.400* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| Maximum NQS after this weekend | 196.225 |
| Highest possible ranking | 24 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 40 |
| Meets remaining | 3 road |
Towson is another team with a double meet weekend and a large range in possible rankings. 196.400 is a decent season high, but ideally the Tigers will want to increase that to feel more comfortable about their regionals qualification chances.
Scores to watch: A 196.300 in either meet would guarantee a top 36 ranking on Monday, and a 195.950 would move the Tigers past Central Michigan.
No. 36 George Washington
| Current NQS | 195.555 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.800, 195.750, 195.475 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| Maximum NQS after this weekend | 196.225 |
| Highest possible ranking | 24 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 46 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 2 road |
Another double meet weekend! George Washington has a higher season high than Towson and a lower score to drop this weekend, but it’s still more vulnerable to dropping in the rankings thanks to its lower scores locked into counting toward its final NQS. The Revolutionaries need to replace those mid-195s with 196-plus scores in order to get more comfortable.
Scores to watch: A 196.425 in either meet would guarantee a higher ranking than Central Michigan on Monday, and a 196.375 would prevent Washington from passing it.
No. 37 Washington
| Current NQS | 195.525 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.700, 195.650, 195.425 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.755 |
| Highest possible ranking | 34 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 46 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Washington is currently on the outside looking in, but with a 194.975 available to replace this weekend, the opportunity to improve its NQS is there for the taking. Whether or not it’ll be enough to make regional won’t be determined until later. However, the 196.125 season high doesn’t bode well considering several lower-ranked teams have reached higher numbers this season; ideally, the Huskies will set a new season high at Cal on Friday.
Scores to watch: A 196.100 will guarantee a higher ranking than UC Davis on Monday, and a 195.700 would give Washington a chance to pass Central Michigan.
No. 38 West Virginia
| Current NQS | 195.470 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 195.475, 195.000*, 194.925* |
| Maximum NQS after this weekend | 196.195 |
| Highest possible ranking | 24 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 46 |
| Meets remaining | 3 road |
We didn’t even include West Virginia in our Bubble Watch last week, but with a huge 10-spot leap in the rankings, the Mountaineers have firmly placed themselves in the middle of the regionals conversation. With two meets this weekend, will we see another jump up the leaderboard? If they can put up two 196-plus scores it’s certainly possible, though it’ll depend on what other teams do as well.
Score to watch: 196.900 would keep Iowa State and Kent State from passing WVU.
No. 39 Iowa State
| Current NQS | 195.465 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.650, 195.375, 194.850* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.660 |
| Highest possible ranking | 35 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 46 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
While it is technically possible for Iowa State to move into the regionals field this weekend, long-term qualification chances feel unlikely with only a 195.825 season high. If the Cyclones want to have a realistic shot at making it, they need to score in the mid-196 range in both of their remaining meets—and even that may not be enough.
Score to watch: 195.800 would prevent Western Michigan from passing Iowa State.
No. 40 Ball State
| Current NQS | 195.455 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.875, 195.275, 195.000* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.835 |
| Highest possible ranking | 32 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 47 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
A 196.900 season high is a huge advantage to have in a late-season bubble race, but Ball State needs to be able to replicate it or else it becomes meaningless. So far the team’s highest road score is more than a point lower than that season high, so the Cardinals will need to pull out something special if they want to have any chance at qualifying to regionals.
Score to watch: 196.575 would guarantee a higher ranking than Central Michigan on Monday.
No. 41 Kent State
| Current NQS | 195.415 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.425, 195.200, 195.175* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.660 |
| Highest possible ranking | 35 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 47 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Kent State’s situation is somewhat similar to Ball State’s, with a strong season high but no other 196-plus scores, but the ceiling is much lower at this point. If the Golden Flashes want to make regionals, they’re going to have to score high while also hoping other teams in contention all falter.
Score to watch: A 196.375 would prevent Western Michigan from being able to pass Kent State.
No. 42 Illinois State
| Current NQS | 195.390 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 195.725, 195.275, 195.100* |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.600 |
| Highest possible ranking | 36 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 48 |
| Meets remaining | 1 home, 1 road |
While not technically out of regionals contention, a lot would have to happen for Illinois State to make the field. The best thing the team can do is increase its season high by several tenths going into conference championship weekend.
Score to watch: A 195.800 would give Illinois State a chance at passing Washington.
No. 43 UC Davis
| Current NQS | 195.355 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.925, 195.300, 194.350* |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.745 |
| Highest possible ranking | 34 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 48 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
With almost two full points between its season high and the score it can replace this weekend, UC Davis is in good shape to increase its NQS significantly this weekend—if, of course, it can replicate that score.
Score to watch: A 195.900 would guarantee a higher ranking than Kent State and Iowa State on Monday.
No. 44 Pittsburgh
| Current NQS | 195.345 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.650, 195.575, 195.275 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.640 |
| Highest possible ranking | 36 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 48 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Pitt’s second-highest score in program history was certainly something to celebrate, both for obvious reasons and because it kept the team in the hunt for regionals qualification. However, the Panthers will need to put up a similar score on Sunday in order to stay in the conversation.
Scores to watch: A 196.525 would prevent Rutgers from catching Pitt while a 196.400 would guarantee a higher ranking than Illinois State on Monday.
No. 45 Rutgers
| Current NQS | 195.340 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 195.725, 195.350, 194.850* |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.625 |
| Highest possible ranking | 36 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 48 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Rutgers started the season with seven straight scores in the 194 range and has now followed that up with three 195s and one 196. If the Scarlet Knights can continue that trend, there is a possibility they’ll be in contention for regionals; they can start out by replacing that 194.850 with a new season high.
Score to watch: A 196.175 would guarantee passing Illinois State.
No. 46 Western Michigan
| Current NQS | 195.285 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 195.775, 195.350, 195.300 |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.650 |
| Highest possible ranking | 36 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 48 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Western Michigan’s table looks very similar to Pitt’s, with one mid-196 and many mid-195s. However, WMU’s score to replace this weekend is lower, meaning there is more room to improve its NQS. And with its season high coming on the road, it feels slightly more possible to see that score happen again. The Broncos’ regional chances remain slim, but replicating that season high may just keep their hopes alive.
Score to watch: A 196.475 would guarantee passing Pitt.
No. 47 Penn
| Current NQS | 195.215 |
| Highest three road scores | |
| Other NQS scores | 195.150, 195.075, 194.975* |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.460 |
| Highest possible ranking | 40 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 49 |
| Meets remaining | 2 home |
Penn cannot move into the top 36 this weekend, but with the right combination of factors, it is technically possible for it to happen by March 24. Penn will need to increase its season high by at least half a point this weekend to have any shot—and even that may not be enough.
Score to watch: A 196.200 would make it possible for Penn to pass Ball State.
No. 50 Texas Woman’s
| Current NQS | 194.750 |
| Highest three road scores | 195.375, 195.225, 194.200 |
| Other NQS scores | |
| NQS with season high this weekend | 195.255 |
| Highest possible ranking | 47 |
| Lowest possible ranking | 53 |
| Meets remaining | 2 road |
Despite its No. 50 ranking, Texas Woman’s is considered a bubble team due to the very large gap—over two-and-a-half points—between its season high and its lowest NQS-counting score. If the Pioneers can replicate (or ideally, exceed) that season high this weekend, it’s possible they’ wi’ll stay in the regionals qualification bubble going into next week.
Score to watch: A 196.425 will give TWU a chance of passing Penn.
Regionals Projection: Individuals
If regionals were to start tomorrow, the following gymnasts would qualify as all-arounders. Note that this assumes the eight teams participating in the first round are those that we projected in the bracket at the beginning of this article
Projected All-Around Qualifiers
| Gymnast | School | Current NQS |
| Chloe Cho | No. 29 Illinois | 39.375 |
| Maggie Slife | No. 53 Air Force | 39.320 |

| Emma Morgenthaler | No. 49 Sacramento State | 39.020 |
| Taylor Ingle | No. 59 SEMO | 38.980 |
Iowa’s Karina Muñoz would likely join this list with one more all-around performance, though two of her typical scores would be needed to secure a high placement given that she’s currently counting a 37.875. The first three athletes on the outside looking in are Mary McDonough (Washington), Megan Bingham (Bowling Green), and Hannah Loyim (Iowa State); of these three, McDonough has the two highest scores on the season and the lowest score to drop, so she is most likely to move up the rankings.
Keep in mind that teams assigned to the play-in round are eligible to qualify athletes as individuals, so as the rankings fluctuate in these final two weeks, the athletes eligible for this list will change. Also note that Fisk’s Morgan Price has a high enough NQS (39.390) to qualify in first position in the all-around, but as Fisk is an NAIA school, she is not eligible to qualify to NCAA postseason competition.

Jah’Liyah Bedminster (Pittsburgh) is currently projected to be the alternate, with Haylee Hardin (Iowa State), Kaitlyn Hoiland (Texas Woman’s), Mya Robinson (Illinois State), Taylor Rech (Maryland), and Manama Fofana (Penn) just behind her. Also keep an eye on Charlie Behner (Kent State), who would likely move into qualifying position if she can replace her 9.675 with a season-high 9.850. Taylor Ingle (SEMO) is currently projected as an all-around qualifier, but if she were to drop out of a qualification position, she would be in the mix to go on vault instead; all-around qualifiers are excluded from individual event qualification.

Rothenbuescher is in the best position to move up with a 9.800 available to be replaced in her NQS calculation. Looking further down the rankings, Alyssa Guns (Kent State) would likely move into a qualifying position if she can drop a 9.650.
