re: How many SEC teams will make a regional? (SEC standings & records included below)

9 teams I think are in right now. Florida, Ole Miss, and Arkansas are national seeds with Georgia on the bubble for a national seed and winning the series is huge for them and a run in the tournament gives them a huge case to be a national seed.

Auburn, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt are locks for the tournament and South Carolina could become a host if they win the tournament in my opinion.

As of right now I think LSU and State are in but I think LSU has more pressure to win than State does. State loses, I think they still like their chances to get in but if LSU loses to State, then we are really sweating on Selection Monday. Kentucky has to make a run to make the tournament in my opinion and it’s really shocking because I thought they were going to be very good this year. Texas A&M is definitely out as of right now and they probably have to at least make it to Saturday in the SEC tourney to have any chance but they’ll probably have to win the whole thing next week.

With that being said, as of right now I have 9 getting in:
1. Florida (National Seed)
2. Ole Miss (National Seed)
3. Arkansas (National Seed)
4. Georgia (Host with chance to be a national seed)
5. South Carolina (On the bubble to host but a lock for a 2 seed)
6. Vanderbilt (Lock for 2 seed)
7. Auburn (Lock for 2 seed)
8. LSU (on the bubble but a 3 seed)
9. Mississippi State (2 or 3 seed, probably 3)
10. Kentucky (outside looking in)
11. Texas A&M (out)
