Preview
Current Rankings: No. 2 Oklahoma at No. 3 Florida
Why You Should Cancel Plans for It: Two powerhouse programs meet for a non-conference dual that promises incredible gymnastics and bonkers scores. The last three times Oklahoma and Florida faced off in regular season competition, both teams scored above a 198. The Sooners and Gators have also passed each other near the top of the national rankings three times so far in 2022.
What We’re Watching: Last weekend, OU senior Olivia Trautman competed beam to make her 2022 season debut. Fans expect to see her on additional events by postseason, but with a nagging knee tendinitis, it’s unclear whether she’ll be in any more lineups at Florida. Regardless, three Sooners currently lead the national rankings on an individual event, with LeVasseur ranked No. 1 on vault, Davis on bars and Smith on beam. Florida has competed up to four all-arounders this season, including in its last home meet against LSU. With the SEC regular-season title already clinched, the Gators will have to decide whether to continue pacing critical routines or to go all out.
