And with that the great Auburn streak came to an end, leaving Texas and Stanford to continue their’s next weekend, as Florida are the champions. After this performance, where the Gators showed a lot more freestyle speed htan I think anybody outside of Gainesville knew they had, they’ll move into at least conversation for a top 5 spot at NCAA’s. In a year where there’s not a lot of complete teams, anybody in that top 5 could come away with a national title, especially with Florida’s divers doing so well.
Meanwhile, the Georgia Bulldogs extended their much shorter streak to 4-straight SEC titles, despite a good push from newcomers Texas A&M. Did Georgia do enough to show that they can compete with Cal at NCAA’s? If we continue on the assumption that they’re not tapered and will proceed to hit that taper in March and get better, then absolutely.
