I think 9 and 9 would be awesome! However, I don’t think it would get us in. See USC 2015-2016. That schedule was just really bad and maybe for good reason. I mean we’re definitely confident. Super pumped about the win!

9-9 gets LSU 20 wins. I know non conference was weak, but 7 other SEC teams did not play 1 ranked team in non conference play either. Wake Forest win will likely be a helpful win also

The SEC was bad that year. Only three teams made the NCAA Tournament. So South Carolina really didn't have much in the conf. schedule to help out a bad non-conf. schedule. It's only just started, but I willing to say the SEC this year is MUCH better than it was in 2016.
There is no single metric or record that clearly makes a NCAA Tournament team. Iowa State and TCU both had losing records in Big 12 play last season. TCU had a non-conf. schedule in 200's. They both made the tournament because even with losing conf records they still had multiple great wins on their resumes. On the flip side Wake Forest was 13-7 in the ACC. But they didn't make the tournament because even though they had 13 conference wins, not many were very "good" wins because the ACC was weak.
In the order of importance, these two things matter more than everything else:
1. How many other NCAA Tournament teams did you beat?
2. How many games did you win away from home?
