Qualification

The top 10 teams in the conference qualified for the 2022 Tournament.^[5] South Carolina was awarded the second seed as East Division champions. They were awarded the East Division championship after both them and Tennessee finished 5–1–0 in division matches. However, South Carolina won the head-to-head regular season meeting with Tennessee and therefore was awarded the second seed. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fifth and sixth seeds as both Vanderbilt and Georgia finished with 5–3–2 regular season records. Vanderbilt was awarded the fifth seed based on points earned versus common opponents as the two teams tied their regular season meeting. Vanderbilt scored twelve points, while Georgia scored 10.^[6]
