Florida / Oklahoma lead NCAA

1T. Florida
1T. Oklahoma

  1. Michigan
  2. LSU
  3. Cal
  4. Utah
  5. Minnesota
  6. Alabama
    9T. Arkansas

Read Spencer’s weekly rankings update:

Cal’s 197.600 from Sunday, the #3 score in program history, clinched a major coup as the team will enter Pac-12 Championships as the top-ranked school in the conference. It’s the first time since the conference became the Pac-12 that neither UCLA nor Utah will enter the championship as the top team.

Road to Nationals posted a chart showing who’s mathematically locked for a 2021 Regionals appearance.

There are plenty of important competitions yet to come.
