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:

The NCAA outlines all criteria that need to be met in order to do so and it pretty much ends there. Your proposed facility meets the requirements or it doesn't. The term "bid" implies that a regional (or super) can be bought with a higher amount of money and that simple isn't the case.Quote:

Agree. We're definitely one of the underdogs. They play the games for a reason. It's baseball. Anything can happen! Just gotta get hot in June! I like our chances a little more with Herrmann available (if that is the case) and back to form. Obviously the bullpen will need to step up. And FastCar needs to get the bats going all weekend.
Then each school is allowed to submit a bid and it is reviewed by the committee the Monday after the regional. This is what happened with Cal and Dallas Baptist (both #3 seeds in their respective regionals) in 2011.Quote:
