Reddit must be livid!

Hah, so true, a few constants in this world, reddit hating on OU and UCLA is always the most perfect program and always has a chance.

The fight from cal and Kentucky (and even auburn and Arkansas) were very memorable. The performances of Utah and UCLA were underwhelming (get em out of theeeerrrre) and maybe Florida as well. Does this shake up your final 4 predictions?

MSU, LSU, OU, and Mizzou would be a very fun final with a healthy amount of upset / underdog

You mean UCLA would have a chance if the judges weren't so dreadfully unfair to them.

I thought the top 8 coming into regionals would produce a great nationals and it was also clear that Cal was the most at-risk of getting left behind with Bama at home. Regionals tends to be that meet where a small number of teams have a great meet and the others that make it through tend to grit it out. That was again true here.

I assume nothing about how teams are going to perform at nationals based on how they performed at regionals but my best guess is that OU, FL, LSU will make it through to the final 4 and it will be whoever's best on the day between UCLA, MSU, and Utah for the final spot. My preference for the final 4 would be OU, MO, UCLA and MSU.

Which teams will be competing in the afternoon session at Nationals, and which will be competing in the evening session?

I want to say the SEC will be competing at night and all the others plus LSU in the afternoon

Semi Final 1: Afternoon Session
Oklahoma, Missouri, Florida, Alabama

Semi Final 2: Night Session
LSU, Michigan State, UCLA, Utah

Whereas this is the second year in a row Denver has shown up to regionals looking surprisingly good only to not be able to pull it together on Day 2 (with vault being the death knell both times).
