Will Louisiana Softball Host a Regional?

[GoneGolfin]

No. With LSU A&M BR with an RPI of 3 there is no way they don't get to host. I doubt the committee will decide to have two regionals within 60 miles of each other. We will be a 2 seed in baton rouge or a regional in Texas.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that both Louisiana and LSU hosted regionals in 2015 and 2016 (back to back years). The Cajuns were a #13 seed in 2015 and a #14 seed in 2016. LSU was a #5 and #10 respectively.

Looks like Bama, FSU, UL and maybe TXST for the 14-16 seeds. Not sure how much TXST moved up in RPI but we have a better resume, we’re 2-2 head to head. We’re regular season champs. They won the conference.

Bama was 1 and done in the sec tournament. Only won 1 series in conference and finished 9th in the regular season.

Not sure what FSU has done, but they lost to a good Duke team in the ACC finals.

Texas State remains at #17. There was (and still is) a large gap between them and #15 Texas A&M and #16 Alabama.

Texas state is not hosting. Bama is hosting. That's because of attendance at the Roadhouse and how much money it will bring in.

If they host it has nothing to do with the money. Schools submit bids to meet requirements. The committee has no clue on financials and don't care.

The committee is human and has biases. We’ve watched too many selection shows and know this.

Do you... or anyone else posting on this thread have clue how the committees work or who is on them?

You watch a selection show and make a deduction off that? I've spent 30 years plus digging into all that goes into the process and have had untold conversations with those involved and still have my connections to this day.

Yeah they get it wrong on occasion but it isn't because of the bias many of you think it is.

I, for one, remember when the committee got it wrong for Washington and the entire team got up and walked off camera.

I remember that for sure. They were not happy.

To be clear... they hosted as a 16 seed with an RPI of 16. They weren't happy with that. Argument could be made for them. Seeding will always be controversial.
