For the first time this season, the national rankings reflect the RQS score. RQS is the Regional Qualifiying Score and determines qualification to the NCAA Regional Championships where the top 36 teams will compete in 6 different locations to compete for the 12 spots at the NCAA National Championships. RQS is calculated by taking a team's top 6 team total scores (at least 3 of which must be away meet), dropping the highest score, and averaging the remaining 5 scores.

Over the weekend, UCLA put up a montstrous score, 198.050 at home, the highest in the nation this year, and the highest by a Bruin team since winning the 2004 NCAA Championships. However, this score was not calculated in their RQS as teams must drop their highest score. The Bruins moved up from 6th to 3rd this week with an RQS of 197.025. 

The Florida Gators held on to their #1 ranking and the Sooners are steady at #2. 

The individual standings see quite a bit of shake-up in the move to RQS, as many athletes don't have the required six scores (including three away scores).  For instance, Vanessa Zamarripa of UCLA recently got back in the all around and posted a big 39.625 this weekend, but doesn't have enough scores to appear in this week's rankings. Arkansas' Katherine Grable takes over the top spot in the AA with Nebraska freshman Jessie DeZiel close behind.
