The No. 10 Alabama gymnastics program defeated the No. 18 Georgia Bulldogs (1-6, 0-6 SEC) behind a 198.075-196.975 score – a mark that's tied for the third-highest team total in program history. Behind an energetic crowd of 12,586 in attendance, the Crimson Tide matched or set season-high rotation scores on the uneven bars (49.600) and floor exercise (49.750) for the second consecutive meet.
Alabama (9-2-1, 3-2-1 SEC) got off to an early lead in its opening rotation and led the entirety of the meet. For the third time this season, and the second time in five days, the Tide rolled to a season-high-tying 49.600 on the uneven bars, highlighted by back-to-back 9.950 scores from Shania Adams and Luisa Blanco. Before Adams' night was done, the Columbus, Ohio, native recorded yet another 9.950 on the balance beam before UA steamrolled through the floor exercise, as every Alabama gymnast posted a 9.900-or-higher score for the first time this season. Entering Friday night, the season-high 49.750 mark on floor was tied for the second-highest score in the nation on the event.
The Crimson Tide swept the event titles as Blanco captured the all-around (39.675) title, and a share of the title on the uneven bars (9.950), Adams secured a share of the title on bars (9.950) before also claiming the balance beam title (9.950) and Gabby Gladieux won both the vault (9.925) and the floor exercise titles (9.975).
For the second consecutive meet, Gladieux bettered her career-high all-around score (39.650) as a total of eight gymnasts recorded a 9.900-or-higher score on the night.

Does that mean that teams #1-8 had just as high if not higher scores than ours? Gymnastics scoring makes my head hurt

They initially rank on the average team score across all meets. Then they move to National Qualifying Score “NQS” scoring. This is calculated by taking the top 6 scores of the season - and it must include at least 3 away meets - then they drop the highest score and average the remaining 5 scores. Since 198.075 was the highest score to date, it Is currently the one that is ‘dropped’.
I have to look it up each season to remind myself how they do it.
NQS is determined by taking a team's top six scores—where at least three must be from away meets—dropping the highest score and averaging the remaining five.

We will have a chance to drop our 197.125 with a good away meet score this Friday. We are carrying two low 197’s that are keeping our NQS down but this 198 improves our ceiling. We are at Oklahoma and SEC Championships count as away scores as well. Bummer Makarri is out for the season but our ladies stepped up big! If we score a 197.925 or higher we will jump both Michigans no matter what next week.

What a weird sport that this record equates to the 18th ranked team.

I think gymnastics is an incredibly impressive sport and it's cool to watch. However the scoring makes it difficult for me to get really into. To my very untrained eye it seems like there is SO much subjectivity in the scoring within the same meet not to mention from meet to meet with all the different judges. I also think the judges are influenced a bit by home crowds going nuts for routines. Also the scoring range is so tight. 197 sucks and a 198 is awesome.
To the casual fan if you didn't reveal the scores until the very end of the meet I don't think people would have a clue whether their team got an awesome 198 or a terrible 197.

It could just be me but it seems like not too long ago very few teams hit 198 and 197 was considered really good. I know the range between 197 and 198 is monumental but for whatever reason in my head everytime i see a score in the 197's I think to myself that that is pretty good

Winning or losing a meet has no influence on your rankings. Simplified, the rankings are based on your average scores. Winning a meet only really matters in postseason when the winners move on. It’s more about putting up good scores. 197 is a good score to start the season, at this point 197.5 or higher is a good score. 197.8 or higher is a great score.

198 or above is what you will need to win the SEC and advance in the dance

As feared
Alabama Gymnast Makarri Doggette Out for Season
The fifth-year senior suffered a season-ending leg injury during warmups of the Georgia meet.
Doggette does not have any eligibility left and likely has competed her final routine in a Crimson Tide uniform.

The No. 9 Alabama gymnastics team will travel to Baton Rouge, La., to take on the No. 2 LSU Tigers inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The Crimson Tide's final regular-season contest against a Southeastern Conference opponent will begin at 5 p.m. CT and will be aired, nationally, on ESPN2.
Friday night's meet will be the ninth contest for Alabama this season as the Crimson Tide is coming off a historic victory over the then-No. 18 Georgia Bulldogs. UA rolled past Georgia via a 198.075 team score – a mark that is tied for the third highest in program history. On the Tide's final rotation of the night, Alabama steamrolled through the floor exercise as every UA gymnast scored a 9.900-or-higher to capture a program-record 49.750 event score.
Head Coach Ashley Johnston Said
"It will be important for us to drown out the noise [and environment of the LSU fans], and just focus on what we can do and what we have control over. I say that every week, but it's not easy to want to take in an environment and an opportunity, but then still be able to detach from it and focus on the things within your control, and this week will be no different. It's our final SEC matchup and it will be great preparation before our final home quad meet [on March 8] and against the No. 1 team Oklahoma [March 17] on the road."
