Week 9 of the 2021 NCAA Gymnastics season is here! SEC teams wrap up their regular season this weekend, while most of the other women’s teams have one more week before conference championships. Meanwhile, the men get back to their regularly scheduled programming after Winter Cup.

On the women’s side, Friday night is packed with exciting matchups, including [14] Kentucky vs. [18] Georgia, [11] BYU vs. [2] Oklahoma, [8] Arkansas vs. [12] Auburn, and the big one: [1] Florida vs. [6] Alabama, as the Gators look to secure their regular-season SEC title instead of having to share with the Crimson Tide. Saturday will see Arizona vs. [7] Arizona State and [10] UCLA vs. [9] Cal, and Sunday wraps up with quite a few tri-meets, including [15] Southern Utah and [20] Utah State at [13] Denver and [16] Boise State and Stanford at Washington.

The men return to action this weekend after most teams were off last week for Winter Cup. Five matchups are set for this weekend, including [1] Oklahoma vs. [11] William & Mary, [5] Penn State vs. [9] Minnesota, and [16] Stanford vs. [10] Cal.
