Week 1: The Numbers

(For the purposes of these statistics, I included scores only from teams in the Top 25 preseason coaches' poll and included all six scores per rotation, not just the five counting scores.)

Average Score by Apparatus – Week 1 

1) Vault – 9.764

2) Beam – 9.620

3) Bars – 9.619

4) Floor – 9.596

Now before you get out your fans and smelling salts because you have the vapors at beam being the second highest scoring event, know that scores of 2.000 from LSU's Jessie Jordan on bars and Arkansas's Scarlett Williams on floor skewed the numbers.  Excluding those scores, the list goes as follows:

1) Vault – 9.764

2) Bars – 9.693

3) Floor – 9.672

4) Beam – 9.620

Average Score by Team – Week 1

1) Georgia – 9.785

2) Florida – 9.783

3) UCLA – 9.775

4) Oklahoma – 9.752

T5) Ohio State – 9.738

T5) Arizona – 9.738

Pretty unexpected, huh?  As mentioned, Arkansas's numbers are odd because of that 2.000 (they would be #3 otherwise), but it's interesting how dropped falls change everything.  I wouldn't have guessed that Ohio State and Arizona would be in the top 5 without doing the math.
