WHEN the CAJUNS WIN the College Station Regional, would they not get to host the Super Regional against the winner of the lower-seeded Santa Barbara regional?

If that were the case you could also argue San Diego would be a higher 2 seed than the Cajuns. Thats why they’re slotted in a weaker regional.
they are slotted there because of geography
Ok, but how does that answer my question?
If UC Santa Barbara won their regional, they would host the Cajuns in a super regional as they are a #1 seed and the Cajuns are a 2.Quote:

More than likely, only way UL would host a super is if #3 or #4 seed wins UCSB regional.
I don't think that is how that worksQuote:

#1 seed has priority. 9-16 host if their super regional counterpart national seed loses. But it’s not impossible for lower seed to host (facility availability for the higher seed, etc, can send them on the road).
that is not how that worksQuote:

That’s correct. If UL and San Diego win their regionals, could be interesting. Hope it comes to that.Quote:

Now THAT'S what I was wondering! .~..~..~.Quote:

One clarification to this situation (bolded above). The two advancing teams do not bid on the super regional unless neither school submitted a bid to host the super regional. If one of the teams bid, but the other did not, the team that bid will host the super regional (provided it is a qualified bid). If both of the teams already bid, there is no new bidding process. In that case the already submitted bids are evaluated.Quote:
