Well, if you want to run the numbers ...
If you replace UM's worst guy on floor and vault (Miller on floor and Guy on vault) with Bock's best score of the year on each event, that gives UM another 2.874 points - or enough to edge Stanford's score today by 0.474.
By itself, that seems competitive.
Of course there's a lot of other guys involved, and I don't know how close they all pushed to their max today.
It's not vault that's the issue. It's Hbar. Bock has put up high 14's many times in his career. He may or may not do vault. Bock is prone to falling on vault. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on all 6 events though. On a good day he could add 6 points.
My son competed against Bock many times as a high school gymnast. I know a lot about his strengths and weaknesses.
