There are some major shakeups in the rankings this week, as the rankings shift to the National Qualifying Score (NQW). The NQS is computed taking the top three away scores, the other three highest scores, throwing out the highest and averaging the remaining five. Since this transition is occurring about a week early due to the early season start, some teams and individuals don't have enough scores to produce an average. OU still leads the rankings but UCLA jumps to #2 as they are able to drop a low score. LSU is 3rd, Utah 4th, Florida 5th and Cal in 6th. Here are the women's National Rankings for the week of February 17th, as compiled by RoadtoNatioonals.com.
