SEC Tournament scenarios: How Saturday's results will set the 2025 bracket
The 2025 SEC Basketball Tournament bracket will be set Saturday following the day's game results.
Auburn clinched the 1-seed and the regular season championship last weekend but should be plenty motivated for Saturday's rivalry game against Alabama.
Tennessee can clinch a top-4 seed and a double bye with a win over South Carolina. A loss opens the door for Ole Miss, Missouri or Texas A&M to step into the fourth double bye into Friday's quarterfinals. Vanderbilt will start its SEC Tournament run on Wednesday.
Here are the SEC Tournament scenarios for Saturday's final day of the regular season:
Saturday's game: Alabama, 1:30 p.m. CT on ESPN

Chiefs coach Andy Reid says WR Rashee Rice and LT Josh Simmons are ready for training camp
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid expects to have wide receiver Rashee Rice and first-round draft pick Josh Simmons fully available when the Kansas City Chiefs report to training camp at Missouri Western State University the last full week of July. Rice is coming off a torn ACL that limited him to four games last season, while Simmons tore a patellar tendon last season with Ohio State, which likely caused the left tackle's draft stock to slide far enough for the Chiefs to pick him No. 32 overall. 'I think they're both ready to go,' Reid said after putting his players through a final conditioning test Thursday, which wrapped up three days of mandatory minicamp. 'They actually got great work in these camps here.' The Chiefs had hoped that Rice would become the centerpiece of a revamped offense last season, and he was trending that way with 24 catches for 288 yards and two TDs through three games. But early in the fourth, after Patrick Mahomes had thrown an interception, the QB collided with Rice as they were trying to make a tackle in a game against the Chargers. The injury wound up being devastating for Kansas City, which had already lost No. 2 wide receiver Marquise Brown to a shoulder injury on the first play of the preseason, which ultimately kept him out until the stretch run. The Chiefs wound up relying more heavily than they would have liked on then-first-round pick Xavier Worthy, who emerged as a breakout star. He led Chiefs wide receivers with 59 catches for 638 yards and all players with six TD receptions. Now, Rice and Brown are healthy again, and a more experienced Worthy suddenly gives Kansas City three top wide receivers. And with the return of a trimmed-down tight end Travis Kelce for his 13th season in the NFL, the Chiefs believe the pieces are in place to push their formerly high-flying offense back among the best in the NFL. 'That's the goal. You want to be the top offense in the league when you step in the building every day. But at the end of the day, you want to win the Super Bowl,' Mahomes said. 'Our goal is to do whatever we can to win the football game, and hopefully for us, that's being the top offense to go with the defense we have.' Simmons could play a big part in that, and not just because he is 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds. The Chiefs struggled mightily at left tackle last season, where second-round pick Kingsley Suamataia was benched and second-year pro Wanya Morris fared little better. The Chiefs eventually resorted to pushing standout left guard Joe Thuney to tackle and using Mike Caliendo in his place at guard, but they likewise struggled in their Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. The Chiefs traded Thuney to the Bears earlier in the offseason, a move made largely for financial reasons. That opened up a spot at guard, and Caliendo and Suamataia are expected to compete for that starting role once training camp begins. As for left tackle, Reid seemed to indicate that Simmons would be his preferred choice to lock down the job. 'Listen, you can see his athletic ability. You can see his want-to,' Reid said. 'He approached everything the right way, plus a little extra. You can look at his rehab and he had a mindset of, 'I'm going to get in there. It's not going to be training camp. It's going to be now.' He worked his tail off to get in there, and you respect that part. He's done a nice job in there. 'We'll see,' Reid added. 'We'll see what training camp does to him. It's different when things are flying up there.' ___ AP NFL:

Travis Kelce's decision to return for another season with Chiefs wasn't much of a decision at all
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Kelce said the decision to return for his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs wasn't much of a decision at all. In fact, the four-time All-Pro tight end indicated Wednesday that No. 14 isn't out of the question. 'I got one year on this contract, I know that. And we'll try to figure out something for next year,' Kelce said after the second day of the Chiefs' mandatory three-day minicamp, which was moved partially indoors because of lightning in the area. 'The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can't see myself playing anywhere else,' Kelce continued. 'We'll deal with (2026) down the road, when the time is right. But right now, I'm focused on winning a championship this year.' The question of whether the 35-year-old would hang up his cleats was among the biggest to follow the Chiefs' lopsided loss to the Eagles in the Super Bowl. While he still played at a high level last season, Kelce saw his production dip noticeably — 97 catches for 823 yards and just three touchdowns for a team that won 15 regular-season games. Throw in Kelce's myriad business interests, including a successful media career thanks in part to his popular podcast, and his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, and it made sense to wonder how much longer he would play. Yet it took only a matter of weeks for Kelce to decide to chase another championship. Part of it was the way last season's run had ended. Kelce had a throwback game in the divisional round against Houston with seven catches for 117 yards, but he had only four for 39 in the 40-22 loss to the Eagles in the Super Bowl. 'Really didn't feel like it was my last game. Just felt like I had a lot more to prove,' he said. 'Yeah, you want to let the emotions die down; you don't want to make a decision off initial emotions. Once they died down, I felt like I still had that fire in my chest to come in and keep building and chase another Super Bowl, man.' The Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl despite playing most of the season without their top two wide receivers, Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown, both of whom are fully healthy now after their injuries. They also made it despite massive issues at left tackle, which the Chiefs hope to have solved by drafting Ohio State standout Josh Simmons in the first round. Now, they have a motivated — and noticeably slimmer — Kelce back at tight end. There were reports that he had dropped about 25 pounds since the end of last season, though Kelce insisted that may have been an exaggeration. 'Don't believe all you read on the internet, guys. I'm down some weight from the end of last season — last year — but each year is different, man. You have to rebuild it,' he said. 'This year, I had some time to really focus on some form running and some things early in the offseason that I didn't have time for last year. Certainly feeling good and I think it'll pay off.' Patrick Mahomes certainly hopes so. After leading one of the NFL's most productive offenses early in his career, Mahomes has struggled to get the Chiefs on track the past couple of seasons, largely because of injuries and offensive line trouble. Still, the Chiefs' star quarterback said he never put any pressure on Kelce to return for another season. 'I think you have in the back of your mind, for anybody that's played a lot of seasons, there's always the chance if they're going to come back and put in the work,' Mahomes said. 'For him, I think it was just recalibrating, seeing where he was at, and from what I've seen, he's ready to go. He's put in the work this offseason and he's excited to make another run at it.' The Chiefs wrap up their three-day minicamp on Thursday, then break for about a month, before reuniting at Missouri Western State University for training camp. And while the thought of spending a few weeks living in college dorm rooms probably doesn't sound very enticing to Kelce, the prospect of starting another championship run there clearly drives him. 'I love this game. It's still my childhood dream,' Kelce said. 'When I really thought about it this offseason, I got back to wanting to focus on this game and getting the most out of this game as I can, while I'm still putting on the cleats and pads. This will always be No. 1 in terms of my business world and career path.' ___ AP NFL:

Dart the Next Eli? 1 Rookie on Each NFL Team That Conjures Up a Franchise Star
Over the past quarter-century of evaluating college prospects for the NFL, I have learned one fundamental truth: there is no such thing as a sure thing. Sometimes, players with all the preferred traits struggle. And sometimes, those lacking tools surprise and become very effective pros. No one really knows who is going to be the best player from a given class until they actually prove it during NFL games. But some players seemingly drip with potential. Their future looks so bright that it's almost difficult to imagine them not enjoying success in the NFL. Those players are the focus of this article, one which links current rookies of all 32 teams to some of the biggest names in their respective franchise's history. It is admittedly presumptuous to compare unproven rookies to legends. But with a little luck, the prospects listed below could wind up being linked to them one day, as the best players for their clubs since. Arizona Cardinals: DT Walter Nolen III — Darnell Dockett The 6-foot-4, 296-pound Nolen exploded for Ole Miss a year ago, earning consensus All-American honors after finishing third in the nation with 14.5 tackles for loss. His initial explosiveness, agility and effort should make him a frequent big-play candidate in Jonathan Gannon's defense, perhaps ultimately mirroring the career of the similarly gifted Dockett, a three-time Pro Bowler who spent the entirety of his 10-year NFL career with the Cardinals. Atlanta Falcons: Edge James Pearce Jr. — Vic Beasley It seems like the Falcons have been searching for an elite pass rusher ever since Beasley led the NFL in sacks (15.5) and forced fumbles (six) back in 2016. At 6-5 and 245 pounds, Pearce is significantly longer and leaner than Beasley, but he offers similar burst, closing speed and, unfortunately, volatility. He projects as a possible 10-plus sack threat early in his career. Baltimore Ravens: Edge Mike Green — Terrell Suggs Even among the icons listed in this article, Suggs is one of a handful of true legends — a future Hall of Famer whose presence on and off the field made him one of the most popular players in Ravens history. Green needs to answer questions about his maturity, but he led the country in sacks and tackles for loss last year for a very simple reason — he is the best edge defender in this class, winning not only with burst but a powerful bull rush and clever counters. Buffalo Bills: CB Maxwell Hairston — Tre'Davious White Struggles with durability have limited White in recent years, but he was one of the NFL's elite cover corners during his rookie contract in Buffalo, finishing as runner-up for Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2017 and earning All-Pro honors in 2019 when he led the league in interceptions (six). Hairston's combine-leading 4.28-second 40-yard dash time translates to the field, where he easily keeps up with receivers and has the soft hands to punish quarterbacks for challenging him. Carolina Panthers: WR Tetairoa McMillan — Steve Smith With a deceptive gliding gait, soft hands of his own and impressive body control, McMillan's flashes are lightning bright. With all due respect to last year's top pick, Xavier Legette, McMillan was drafted at No. 8 overall to be Carolina's No. 1 target. If McMillan learns to play with the same tenacity and competitiveness that thrilled Panthers fans for years, he might be able to snatch Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and, in doing so, help Young and the Panthers shake their critics. Chicago Bears: OT Ozzy Trapilo — Kyle Long While top pick Colston Loveland warrants a shoutout, most realize that if Caleb Williams is really going to take a leap in Year 2, it will have more to do with an improved Bears' offensive line rather than Chicago's pass-catchers or playcaller. I'm not convinced that Trapilo will be a star in the NFL, but Chicago doesn't need him to be. The Bears could just use some consistency. And a star tackle wouldn't be a bad thing, either. Long is the only tackle in the modern era from Chicago to be named to the Pro Bowl. Cincinnati Bengals: G Dylan Fairchild — Max Montoya Cincinnati has dedicated a lot of draft picks and money to its skill positions and is now hoping that Fairchild can step right into a starting role as a rookie. He was overshadowed for much of his time at Georgia, and the megawatt star power in Cincinnati guarantees the same will occur with the Bengals, even if he plays well as a rookie. I like his bulk, strength, agility and mentality and think he'll prove a longtime starter, perhaps emerging as the best guard for the Bengals since Montoya, the only player at this position ever selected to the Pro Bowl from Cincinnati. Cleveland Browns: DT Mason Graham — Michael Dean Perry One could make the argument for either Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders for this spot, but the Browns have such a logjam at quarterback that no one is getting the reps they should. That won't be the case with Graham, who offers both a high floor that will virtually guarantee him a starting spot as a rookie and a high upside. Graham's quickness, balance and instincts should allow him to eat up the single-team blocks surely coming his way due to the presence of Myles Garrett. And Graham plays with the heaving-running motor that will make him a fan favorite, just as Dean Perry was in earning six Pro Bowl nods over his 10-year NFL career. Dallas Cowboys: G Tyler Booker — Larry Allen With 10 interior offensive linemen earning at least one Pro Bowl nod for Dallas since their last Super Bowl victory in 1996, few teams have enjoyed better blockers over the past 30 years than the Cowboys. Zack Martin might very well have been the best of them, with the seven-time All-Pro a shoo-in for Canton someday. Booker's size and physicality could make him an even more intimidating presence, however, and perhaps no blocker in the entire NFL bulldozed opponents more consistently than Allen. Denver Broncos: RB RJ Harvey — Terrell Davis The Broncos have enjoyed quite the stable of running backs since Davis retired in 2001, with Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, C.J. Anderson and Philip Lindsay each earning Pro Bowl nods. None, however, starred for more than a year or two, which is where I think the still-ascending Harvey can distinguish himself. I love his contact balance and desire. I see him as a potential longtime standout in Sean Payton's offense. Detroit Lions: G Tate Ratledge — Kevin Glover The Lions boast one of the NFL's better offensive lines, but going back to the last century, their play at tackle and center has been better than at guard. Glover played 12 of his 15 NFL seasons at center and each of his three Pro Bowl nods came at the pivot, but he started 26 games over the 1986–88 seasons at guard. Ratledge is a potentially dominant blocker who, with greater durability, also has the look of a long-time pillar up front. Green Bay Packers: WR Matthew Golden — Davante Adams With all due respect to the current Packers' receiving corps, no one truly stepped up to replace Davante Adams' production, leaving a massive target share potentially available for Golden to exploit. The fastest offensive player at this year's combine, Golden has the 4.29-second speed to take full advantage of Jordan Love's big arm and defenses crowding the line of scrimmage to slow Josh Jacobs. Houston Texans: OT Aireontae Ersery — Duane Brown In the 23-year history of the Houston Texans, Brown is the only offensive tackle selected by the club to ever make a Pro Bowl. I'm dating myself with this evaluation, but I remember Brown as a highly athletic but very raw blocker and a surprising first-round selection out of Virginia Tech. Ersery slipped to the second round but offers a similar blend of size and agility. I think he's going to become a rock up front for Houston. Indianapolis Colts: Edge JT Tuimoloau — Dwight Freeney I think the Colts' top pick in 2024, fellow edge defender Laiatu Latu, is on the verge of a breakout season. Tuimoloau, though, may boast an even higher upside. Tuimoloau isn't as explosive off the ball, but he has an impressive combination of length and strength, which allows him to manhandle would-be blockers, and he has a knack for making big plays at critical moments. Neither seems likely to challenge Freeney's seven seasons of 10-plus sacks over their respective careers, but don't be surprised if both emerge as longtime starters and fan favorites for their steady, tough play. Jacksonville Jaguars: WR/CB Travis Hunter — Jalen Ramsey Ramsey is the only defensive back ever drafted by the Jaguars to have been named a Pro Bowler multiple times. At the risk of venturing into hyperbole, Hunter is even more athletic and instinctive. His ability to play both sides of the ball is unprecedented, and I believe he'll ultimately be viewed as one of the greatest players in this franchise's history. Kansas City Chiefs: OT Josh Simmons — Willie Roaf For Saints fans, it might seem darn near sacrilegious to list Roaf with the Chiefs, given that he was drafted by New Orleans and earned Pro Bowl honors in seven of his nine seasons in the Bayou. Roaf was just as effective in his final four years in Kansas City, however, earning Pro Bowl nods after each of those seasons, as well. Simmons is the polar opposite of Roaf in style, winning with sheer agility rather than ballast and power. But he, too, looks like a potential annual all-star candidate. Las Vegas Raiders: WR Jack Bech — Tim Brown It might take Bech a bit to develop a rapport with Geno Smith, as the latter typically likes to wait until his receivers are open before throwing it to them. Bech lacks the elite suddenness to leave cornerbacks flailing and "always be open," but he plays big and has excellent body control, consistently winning on 50-50 balls. The Browns have been searching for a true No. 1 for decades and Bech has the ball skills and mentality to win big in Vegas. Los Angeles Chargers: RB Omarion Hampton — LaDainian Tomlinson With all due respect to Pro Bowlers Melvin Gordon and Ryan Mathews, you'll have to go back to Tomlinson to find a bell-cow back for the Chargers so perfectly suited to his team's offense as Hampton is with Jim Harbaugh. The six-foot, 221-pounder offers the size and power to carry the load as a masher inside, but he's also a legitimate breakaway threat. Hampton has All-Pro upside and could be the centerpiece of the ground-oriented attack that pushes the Chargers from playoff participant to true Super Bowl contender. Los Angeles Rams: TE Terrance Ferguson — Ernie Conwell The Rams' current starting tight end — Tyler Higbee — is statistically the best in franchise history, and Ferguson would go a long way in legitimizing the 46th overall selection by pushing him for playing time as a rookie. Conwell offered similarly sure hands down the seam and was a better blocker. The Rams have never had a tight end voted to the Pro Bowl, but Ferguson flashes that kind of upside. Miami Dolphins: DT Kenneth Grant — Tim Bowens The NFL has become much more pass-oriented since Bowens earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors for the Dolphins back in 1994. But the 6-4, 325-pounder was a rock up and down the defensive line for Miami over 11 seasons, starting 155 games and twice earning Pro Bowl nods, despite "only" registering 22 sacks over that span. The similarly built and durable Grant also has the look of a longtime franchise pillar. Minnesota Vikings: G Donovan Jackson — Steve Hutchinson Hutchinson may have been drafted by Seattle, but four of his seven career Pro Bowl nods came at left guard for the Vikings. Jackson's agility and proven positional versatility could make him a longtime foundational piece in Minnesota, as well. New England Patriots: OT Will Campbell — Matt Light The same concerns about arm length that dogged Campbell throughout much of the pre-draft process pushed the 6-4, 305-pound Light into the second round back in 2001. Light became a cornerstone at left tackle for the Patriots, however, earning three Pro Bowl nods during his 11-year career, all of which were in New England. Like Light, Campbell is agile, technically sound and highly dependable. New Orleans Saints: QB Tyler Shough — Drew Brees The legendary Brees and iconic Archie Manning are the only two Pro Bowl quarterbacks in the 59-year history of this franchise. At his best, Shough shows that kind of talent, boasting the live arm, smarts and leadership skills to start as a rookie and ultimately lead this club back to the playoffs. New York Giants: QB Jaxson Dart — Eli Manning The plan in New York seems to be to let veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston duke it out for the starting role and allow Dart time to sharpen his skills. That approach paid off with Manning, who sat behind Kurt Warner before starting seven games (losing six of them) as a rookie. Dart appears to have the mental toughness to handle the glare of the New York media, and he certainly possesses the physical traits as well. New York Jets: TE Mason Taylor — Mickey Shuler Perhaps some of the reason why the Jets have struggled developing a young quarterback in recent years is their lack of a "security blanket" at tight end. Taylor has some of the surest hands of any pass-catcher in this class, providing an immediate boost to a franchise that hasn't produced a Pro Bowler at TE since Mickey Shuler … in 1988. Philadelphia Eagles: LB Jihaad Campbell — Jeremiah Trotter Until free agent addition Zack Baun earned All-Pro honors and Super Bowl glory in his first season in Philadelphia (earning a contract extension), no Eagles' off-ball linebacker had been named a Pro Bowler until Trotter, whose son is now on the roster. Campbell needs time to develop, but his speed in coverage and experience as a pass rusher could make him quite the weapon. Pittsburgh Steelers: RB Kaleb Johnson — Le'Veon Bell Like the Denver Broncos, the Steelers have forged a quality rushing attack for years despite no one since Bell emerging as a year-to-year staple. Johnson was a bit of a one-year wonder, himself, at Iowa, but I love his combination of vision, cutback speed and determination. I'm not so sure that the Steelers will run their offense through Johnson the way they did Bell in 2017 (when he led the NFL with 406 total touches), but I believe he can be a longtime bell-cow if given the opportunity. San Francisco 49ers: DT Alfred Collins — Bryant Young Given the dominance of San Francisco's defensive line over the past quarter-century, it might surprise you to learn that the 49ers haven't produced a defensive tackle with more than one Pro Bowl to their credit since Young was honored after the 2001 and 2002 campaigns. Young was big and powerful, but also surprisingly agile and a very instinctive defender. Collins is still figuring things out, but his physical traits are like something generated on AI. If the 49ers hit on him, they truly will have struck gold. Seattle Seahawks: QB Jalen Milroe — Russell Wilson No one is suggesting that Milroe outduels Sam Darnold for the starting role as a rookie the way that a precocious Wilson beat out Matt Flynn. But the point of this article is to highlight the rookie for each team offering the highest upside, and given the rocket arm and legs that I felt warranted a comparison to former No. 1 overall selection Michael Vick, Milroe's ceiling is as high as any player from this class, regardless of position. Milroe has, in fact, turned heads during the offseason with his dedication and improved accuracy, but the Seahawks recognize that he's a developmental prospect … for now. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Benjamin Morrison — Ronde Barber The Bucs are certainly hoping that Morrison will one day be linked with Barber, a ballhawk whose durability might have been even more impressive than his awareness of the ball in flight. Barber played all 16 of his NFL seasons in Tampa Bay, missing a total of one game due to injury over his final 14 years. Morrison is an instinctive and technically-sound cornerback who just needs a return to health to remind everyone that stars, like Barber (selected 66th overall back in 1997), can be found outside the first round. Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward — Steve McNair It goes without saying that as the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, the Titans are expecting Ward to become a star and perhaps someday guide this team back to the Super Bowl, in much the same way that the late McNair did for this franchise. Ward isn't the bulldozing runner McNair was, but he's fantastically slippery in the pocket and possesses both the downfield vision and deep ball accuracy to light a fire under a dormant fan base. Washington Commanders: OT Josh Conerly Jr. – Trent Williams From a size and physical standpoint, Conerly has a long way to go before he should be mentioned in the same sentence as Williams, a future Hall of Famer. But they are similarly explosive athletes whose jobs are all the more complicated because of the quarterbacks they are tasked with protecting. Mobile quarterbacks (like Jayden Daniels or former Washington standout Robert Griffin III) put a lot of pressure on blockers to adjust on the fly, but Conerly has the light feet to excel, as Williams did in Washington and since in San Francisco.
