• We expect five SEC teams to host: South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Florida, Kentucky and Alabama. Ole Miss, LSU and Mississippi State remain right in the thick of the hosting race, and that picture could shift week by week. The same goes for the national seed hunt in the SEC, but right now we believe South Carolina and Vanderbilt have the best combinations of resume and talent, so we expect that pair to finish as the top two teams in the SEC pecking order.
