AP Top 25 Women's Basketball Final Regular Season Prediction: No Coin Flip Needed for Texas
© Scott Wachter-Imagn Images

In a strange tie-breaker for the top seed in the SEC Championship - South Carolina won, which it should've won, anyway, for beating Texas by 17 and losing the rematch by four - the Longhorns lost. They should have the top spot in the final regular season ATP Top 25 rankings. 

Maybe. 

There's a shot USC moves all the way up from 4 to 1 after rolling past No. 2 UCLA, but more than likely the No. 1 Longhorns will stay in their spot going into conference tournament time.

What will the final AP Top 25 rankings be? Here's our best guess before the tournament season begins.
