Week 3 Power Rankings & Schedule

Each week we’ll be releasing a “Power Rankings” that aims to provide a fluid picture of how each team across the NCAA is doing at the moment and where we see them heading. The (+) or (-) next to each team relates to how far they rose or fell from the week before. 

This year’s Power Rankings are developed with input from major gymnastics publications including the CGA, Inside Gymnastics, Gymnastics Now, College Gym News, and Gymcastic.

Rounding out the top three this week is Nebraska (405.3), who had a big improvement over their season opening performance.

Penn State (395.45) struggled at the Navy Open this weekend resulting in a 2 spot drop to 4th. The tides turned for Ohio State (405.35). The Buckeyes now sit 5th in the power rankings after a dominant showing at the Navy Open.
