Welcome to Power Rankings! First one of 2018. This is where I recap the most interesting parts of the week of competition and stack them against each other. This isn't real team rankings. This is ranking the newsworthy and the interesting stuff that goes on during the week. We now have two weeks of NCAA gymnastics under our belts, all the teams have shown up in competition. There was drama, tears laughter, falls and crazy scoring! I'm a total procrastinator, so I missed the first week (sorry). So this is the procrastination edition. Since I put this off for a couple of weeks, this might be short. (sorry) Let's discuss!

Worlds is over for another year (sigh).  While I'm still feeling nostalgic for Worlds, I'm going to recap the best and worst moments of the world championships with my Power Rankings. Power Rankings are a feature I usually do during NCAA season, but it's still appropriate for an event that all roads lead to in elite. For the "rankings" of the "power rankings" I'm going to rate an event on the basis of fail or win (occasionally and epic win or epic fail and the general moments of hilarity and heartbreakers. Let's get started.

We're now three weeks into the NCAA gymnastics and the stakes are getting higher. So who holds all the power in the NCAA this week? Well, to answer that questions, I bring you this week's power rankings. These aren't the official Road to Nationals rankings, rather they are stories and people that have caught my attention throughout the week, whether it be note-worthy events or a reaction to something. Last week's power rankings were: 1. UNC's Support for the LGBTQ community 2. Georgia is officially not broken! 3.  Ashleigh Gnat gets a 10.00 on Vault 4.  No, AJ Jackson does not need to smile more Without further adieu, here is this week's power rankings:

Week 2 is officially in the books! Which means it's time for my weekly power rankings! These aren't the official Road to Nationals rankings, rather they are stories and people that have caught my attention throughout the week, whether it be note-worthy events or a reaction to something. Last week's power rankings were: 1. The Power Freshmen 2. The Judge at the LSU/Georgia meet who had to do everything 3. LSU & Oklahoma - Egregious home scoring or peaking too early? 4.

Well, Regionals have happened... It was rough, I gotta tell you. I've had a couple days, and I feel like I've emotionally recovered enough to do Power Rankings Regionals Editions. Or maybe this is just therapy for me. As per usual, these aren't the official Road to Nationals rankings (or in this case the rankings after Regionals), rather they are stories and people that have caught my attention throughout the week, whether it be note-worthy events or a reaction to something. Previously for Conference Championships, the power rankings were: 1. UCLA's side eye inducing beam total 2. Peng Peng Is Injured...Again 3. Florida wins the SEC Championship; Coach Jenny Rowland has her Oscar Moment 4. Kaytianna McMillian of Oregon State does a hella cool back spin on floor 5. Zoe Draghi of Cal's funky floor choreography 6. No tens for you, Ebee Price or McKenzie Wofford With that, here are the Regionals Power Rankings:

Last week's power rankings were: 1. Soooo many perfect tens 2. Morgan Lane of North Carolina's Beam Routine 3. Battle of the beamers - Chayse Capps versus Danusia Francis 4.  The Big Fives - competing to compete for bragging rights in the Big Ten 5.  Shawn Johnson Professes Her Love for NCAA Gymnastics, and the reasons we all watch and love it 6.  Allie Northey Beats the Second Ranked All-Arounder in the NCAA on Senior Night Without further adieu, let's get to this week's power rankings!

It's Tuesday and that means it's time for NCAA Power Rankings. These aren't the official Road to Nationals rankings, rather they are stories and people that have caught my attention throughout the week, whether it be note-worthy events or a reaction to something.

It's Tuesday and that means it's Power Rankings day. These are not the official rankings, but they are stories, people, topics and/or events that are interesting or worth talking about. To refresh, last week I talked about: #1 RQS #2 Southern Utah and Upsets in General #3 Joslyn Goings & Myia Hambrick and all underrated athletes #4 LSU's floor line-up #5 Ebee Price's back up dancers Without further pause, let's get into this week's NCAA power rankings,

Last week's power rankings was a hit, so I'm doing them again this week.  Again, these aren't the official rankings from Road to Nationals. I am basing my "rankings"  on news events, stories, people that are gaining attention and other random things that I find interesting or worth mentioning. Last week, the power rankings were: #1 Sophina DeJesus #2 Judges tightening their scoring practices #3 Boise State #4 Line-Up Changes #5 Everybody's favorite ginger, Sidney Dukes, proving that yes, gingers do have souls. #6 Ebee Price #7 Allison Northey and the entire Washington team.

We've all been closely following those official RoadtoNationals.com rankings for the NCAA. So today, I thought I'd do something a little different. I'm going to be doing power rankings. This isn't rankings based off of RQS or other fun data, but these rankings are based on news events, people that are gaining attention and other random things that I find interesting or worth mentioning.
