The Boise State gymnastics team performed about as well as it can, racking up the fifth-highest team score in school history in a road win at Southern Utah. While that score will help the Broncos' RQS (Regional Qualifying Score), it might be too little, too late.
That is because the five teams surrounding Boise State in the national rankings, Auburn, Missouri, Ohio State, Penn State and Stanford, all did well this weekend. Of those, only Auburn scored less than 196. Ohio State posted a 196.700, Penn State was right behind with a 196.500, Stanford scored 196.475, Missouri scored 196.100 and Auburn was at 195.950.
I'll look into the effects on the RQS for the above-mentioned teams and post on this site. And for those who say RQS doesn't matter in the Regionals, that all you have to do is get one of the top two scores at Regionals to qualify for the Nationals, I will just refer you to last year. It doesn't work that way. By that time, the judges know who the best teams are, and unless you're already a Top 12 team, you're not going to get there, no matter how you do. The Broncos outperformed #1-ranked Florida last year only to lose out by hundreds of a point.
