None of it makes sense. Visiting team the fewest doesn't mean the home team the most nor does it mean the home team the fewest

This is pretty confusing, but here's how I think it should play out:

Arkansas: 2 home, 1 away
Florida: 1 home, 1 away

Arkansas has been home more than Florida and they've both been away once. Therefore, Florida should be the home team unless there's an explicit rule that flips home/away status for a rematch (Florida was home in the first matchup).

That's what I would have assumed as well. D1 and the SEC website both have Arky listed as the home team (bottom/right).

That sounds right. So if Florida is the home team tonight, no matter who we play will have been the home team twice. So we should be home tomorrow no matter what?

I have been at every session beginning Wednesday morning. People can sit wherever they want. The place is nowhere near full. Just buy gen admin seats.

If Florida is home tonight:

LSU: 1 home, 1 away
Arkansas: 2 home, 2 away
Florida: 2 home, 1 away

We'd be home against either opponent.

If Arkansas is home:

LSU: 1 home, 1 away
Arkansas: 3 home, 1 away
Florida: 1 home, 2 away

Here, we'd be home against Arkansas but away against Florida.

Ok on another part of the SEC site, they have Vanderbilt @ Alabama and Arkansas @ Florida. Opposite of what D1 has and the other part of the SEC site has. Bama and UF should both be the home team based on the "rules" as we think we know them.

Higher seeds get home in first games
After that it is a coin flip

I don't see how Bama wouldn't be home. It makes perfect sense by what we think are the rules, Vandy hasn't been away at all so far.

Pretty sure it's home team the fewest. Here is how things will play out the next 2 days.


Friday
Vandy (2h, 0a) @ Bama (1h, 2a)
Arky (2h, 1a) @ Florida (1h, 1a)


Saturday

Vandy (2h, 1a) OR Bam (2h, 2a) @ Texas A&M (1h, 1a)
Arky (2h, 2a) OR Florida (2h, 1a) @ LSU (1h, 1a)

Looks good to me. Let's hope that's how it actually plays out.

you can buy either, reserved seat back, or General Admission, bleacher seating.

Word to the wise, reserved seating is almost always in the sun on the first base side.

I believe for the Semi finals the undefeated team is home regardless. Although I could be wrong, but that seems to be the way it's been the last few years (granted I haven't done any actual research so it would be really easy to prove me wrong if I am.)

It probably just works out that way because they play 1, if not 2, fewer games. Holds true this year.
