South Carolina women's basketball: Comparative Bracketology – On3

With five days left in the regular season and conference tournaments still to come, we compared five different bracketology reports to see where South Carolina and the SEC stand.
The consensus is that Mississippi State is the SEC’s only bubble team. South Carolina, Texas, Vanderbilt, LSU, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia are all safely in.

The Athletic
South Carolina: One seed, Fort Worth 2
Top overall seeds: UConn, UCLA, South Carolina, Texas
Two seeds: Duke, Vanderbilt, LSU, Michigan
Also in South Carolina’s region: #2 Vanderbilt, #3 Iowa, #4 Kentucky
SEC teams: #1 South Carolina, #1 Texas, #2 Vanderbilt, #2 LSU, #3 Oklahoma, #4 Kentucky, #4 Ole Miss, #6 Alabama, #6 Georgia, #7 Tennessee, #9 Mississippi State
Observations: This bracketology doesn’t take into account Iowa’s win over Michigan this past Sunday. Also, I think the regions are labeled wrong: the number should correspond to the overall seed. The Athletic is the only bracketology that has Duke as a two seed. With the Blue Devils’ loss last weekend, that will probably change.

Observations: This is from last week, so it is the most dated. A new version should come out as soon as today. USA Today is the only bracketology that has Louisville as a two seed. With the Cardinals’ loss last weekend, that will probably change.
