Projection: likely out

South Carolina's resume presents significant challenges for tournament consideration, primarily due to its lack of quality wins and a tough SEC schedule that resulted in multiple losses against formidable opponents. While victories over teams like Clemson and Texas showcase potential, the consistent losses to higher-ranked teams such as Alabama, Kentucky, and Florida, combined with a disheartening defeat against Mississippi State, highlight a difficult path ahead. The defense, which ranks reasonably well, is undermined by an offense that struggles against top-tier competition, limiting their chances for marquee wins in the crucial remaining games. To solidify their standing, South Carolina will need to secure convincing wins against ranked opponents and avoid any slip-ups against lesser teams.
