I think it is very relevant to how things work out in baseball. In baseball, the name of the game is get hot and play your best down the stretch (i.e. Coastal Carolina). Rankings are not that important, but you want to be in that top eight to host a Super and advance to Omaha.
Wouldn't you say that gymnastics is similar? Need that Super Six invite and hope/pray that you peak at the right time to win it all.

Actually not at all.
You don't get invited to the Super Six.... The top teams get invited to 6 Regionals.... there's generally no home floor Advantage as Regional sites or determine years in advance.
From there the top two scoring teams from each Regional go to the semi-finals at Nationals. This creates a field of 12, which they break up into two 6 team sessions.
What is amazing, is that it is not even the top six scorers that go to the next round on the final day. It is the top three from each session.... Generally this works out to be the top six scorers, but it is conceivable that for teens in one session could score higher than one of the teams in the other section but still be left out
This is how the Super 6 is determined
