re: Question on home field advantage

To further answer the question, if a national seed doesn't win their regional, as is the case with the Rice/Oregon regional, the NCAA decides who the host team will be. Not sure how exactly they decide this, or if there is a set method for it but my guess is that if the 1 seed from the other regional won that regional, then it is more than likely that that team would host. Example - NC State was a 1 seed and Rice was a 2 seed. Rice beat the National Seed in Oregon, but NC State was a number one seed in their regional.

If I remember correctly, majority of teams submit host bids before play begins. Usually the 8 national seeds and 1 seeds are hosts, but not always. In the even a top 8 loses, it will usually go to the other 1 seed, but NCAA could go back to bid. That's also what happens if neither 1 wins.
** if I remember correctly. Question came up a few years ago.

this is decided by the higher ranked team. a #1 seed in a regional is likely to be the higher ranked team then a #2, so they would host the super regional.
