NCAA gymnastics – Super 6 in Athens, GA

Only six remain in the chase for a national title. Georgia, Utah, Stanford, Florida, Alabama, and LSU survived tough competition Thursday, and will face off Friday night in Stegeman Coliseum.

From an Alabama fan:

(Georgia) were the best team Thursday, are the best team this year, and likely will win and deserve their 4th consecutive championship.

But this is what makes it so ridiculous that they ALSO getting a boost from favorable judging.

Will Georgia be overscored tonight? Because they are 3 time defending Champions? Because they are home with a raucous crowd?

Perhaps. Slightly.

Due to the strange judging system used in the NCAA — everyone at Championships gets 9.85 if they “stick” and have no other blatant error — Georgia could easily lose. If they count one fall on one apparatus, it’s over.

This is a judging system that gives Alabama an excellent chance to win. It’s the reason NCAA competitions are so thrilling.
