The 2023 grads are in the Senior A, B and C age groups (exceptions are noted) The Top 7 in each Regional automatically qualify to DP L10 Nationals as long as they hit a minimum AA score of 35.0. Here's the Top 7 results for the senior age groups (plus junior F if they include 2023 commits) for all eight Regions (qualifying scores only):

Oklahoma won the 2022 NCAA Team title, fending off Florida in the final round, after a superb comeback from a shaky first round in the finale. Here's a few impressions from the season.
Stanford continued their dominance of Men's NCAA Gymnastics with a victory in Saturday's finals. They posted a 423.628, down from the qualifying after a few mistakes but still enough to easily distance the field. OU edged Michigan for 2nd, 414.555 to 414.49. Nebraska was 4th at 406.453, Ohio State 5th at 399.326 and Illinois was 6th at 398.523.
Michigan's Paul Juda upset two-time NCAA Champ Brody Malone to win the AA title with an 85.298. Juda posted the top mark on VT. Malone won HB and tied for the PH title with PSU's Chase Clingman but could only manage a 12.8 on PB. Stanford's Bryan Perla won FX while teammate Riley Loos won Rings. Cardinal Curran Phillips won PB.
This is Stanford's eight title overall.

Overcoming a slow start on FX with two scores at or below 9.7375 (and none above 9.9), OU roared back with a 49.625 on VT, a 49.725 on UB and a 49.625 on BB to seal the win. Their 198.2 was good enough to hold off Florida's 198.0875 and capture the Sooner's fifth championship in eight years. Florida started on VT, and a few hops/steps back on their Yurchenko 1 1/2s left them with a 49.35. A final 49.7125 on FX was not enough to catch the Sooners, after 49.525 on UB and 49.5 on BB. Utah was the early leader with 49.5125 on BB and 49.4625 on FX, but they also managed just a 49.225 on VT after a fall and steps/hops. AU ended with a 197.35 with a strong performance overall. In the end, OU's big tallies VT, UB and BB were enough, but the number of sticks on dismounts and on 10.0 SV VTs was truly decisive.
