The women’s college gymnastics postseason is here, and Oklahoma is the team to beat once again.

The Sooners have won three of the last four NCAA championships and sit atop the national rankings as the drive for the 2026 title begins. 

The one hiccup in Oklahoma’s recent run of dominance came in 2024, when LSU took the crown. The Tigers are the No. 2 seed this year, with another SEC team, Florida, sitting third. The Gators are on a hot streak, recording the highest meet score this year at 198.575 on March 13 against Kentucky, then topping Oklahoma, LSU and Alabama to take the SEC championship. 

All of that would indicate the road to a national title goes through the SEC, but you never know what will happen in NCAAs. The first step for any contender is making it through regionals, and that path is set for each team. 

Here’s everything you need to know to watch it all.
