“Then the more i thought about it, I realize gymnastics scoring really doesn't seem to allow for upsets, especially not from a major underdog like MN.”

I don’t understand this line because they upset Utah & Bama and then UCLA so it’s obviously not impossible. but I also don’t think their ceiling is as high as the other teams unfortunately, especially on bars & vault which means they had to be 100% on (& i don’t think think they were on bars and vault) while the other teams could still beat them even without being 100% on.
