The Mount: NCAA Nationals Previews and Predictions

Nationals is here—the final stage, where nothing but hits will do. After surviving regionals, the remaining teams arrive with title aspirations, but only one will leave on top. Favorites like Oklahoma, LSU, and Florida headline a field stacked with championship pedigree and scoring potential, while challengers lurk ready to capitalize on any mistake. With semifinals determining who advances and a winner-take-all final to follow, expect razor-thin margins, clutch performances, and a title race that could come down to the final routine.
