Boise State gymnastics team rises to 10th in NCAA ranking

The Broncos scored a 196.675 in a loss Friday night at Alabama and boosted their regional qualifying score (RQS) to 196.605, which ranks them 10th this week. Boise State, which hosts Utah State on Thursday and Denver on March 10, was 12th last week. A team’s RQS is calculated by taking the six best team scores from the regular season, including three from away meets. The highest score is eliminated, and the RQS is the average of the remaining five scores. The rest of the top 10 includes Oklahoma (197.990), LSU (197.695), Florida (197.495), UCLA (197.305), Utah (197.180), Alabama (197.085), Denver (196.875), Georgia (196.820) and Oregon State (196.635).
