NORMAN – With the final meet of the regular season behind it, the Oklahoma men's gymnastics team retained the No. 1 spot in this week's national rankings after posting a 413.650 in a comeback victory against Ohio State on Friday.

The national rankings are determined by a team's “four-score average,” and OU posts a national-best 414.933 heading into the postseason. Four-score average is based on a team's best four scores, two of which must be away. Each program's overall high score is eliminated, and the remaining four scores are averaged.
