As we head into the post-season, all but one spot in the Regionals is locked up.  At the top, Oklahoma remains #1, with an NQS (National Qualifying Score) of 198.475.  Cal has taken over #2 with an NQS of 198.18, as LSU is now in 3rd at 198.125 (they did not improve this week).  Florida is 4th, closely followed by Utah, Kentucky, Alabama and Denver (a little more than 0.2 back from #4). 

OU leads the nation on VT, UB and BB.  LSU remains the top squad on FX.  The more interesting final races this season are for the final Top 16 seeds, and for the Top 28 (or so) teams that may avoid a play-in round.  0.07 separates #16 Ohio State from #18 UGA.  And 0.19 points separates #31 Illinois from #24 Penn State.  In the Race to Regionals, Iowa State, Iowa and GWU are left to battle for the final spot.   

Individually, LSU's Haleigh Bryant is still the top AAer, with Cal's eMjae Frazier and OU's Jordan Bowers now tied for 2nd.  Bryant also remains #1 on VT, while Audrey Davis of OU is tops on UB.  Her Sooner teammate Ragan Smith is #1 on BB while UK's Raena Worley remains #1 on FX, both with NQS averages of 9.99.
