Tennessee (9-5) lost to LSU.
This means that the 9-4 Lady Rebels need to win only 2 of the 3 remaining games (At Ky, At Mo, and Home against AR) to clinch the 3rd Seed in the SEC Tournament. They will be heavily favored in all three of those games.
They have the tiebreaker against Tennessee. Tennessee still has to play at South Carolina which is a certain loss.
With the 3rd Seed, Ole Miss won't have to play SC until the Finals if they can advance that far. They would probably have to play LSU in the semifinals but they have shown they can be competitive against the Lady Tigers.
South Carolina is on a different plateau from everybody else.
