They should reseed the Super Regionals after the Regionals

I say this every year and people always disagree.
But I still think it's wrong that by all accounts Ole Miss was the team bumped for LSU, and they have to go on the road this weekend while Texas and Texas Tech get to play at home.

I gotta agree with that. There is already usually 1 or 2 "hosting decisions" they have to make between regionals and supers they should just reseed.
And actually the committee chair said Rice and Vandy were ahead of Ole Miss in the pecking order for the national seed but point taken.

Five national seeds lost
Four other host teams advanced. Thy should get dibs on Supers. The last one goes to Houston based on RPI.

I disagree.
Here's the bracket. Beat the team you're playing next. Survive and advance.
Luck of the draw.
The best team will win anyways.
They don't reseed the Men's Bball tourney after the first 2 rounds.....

They also don't play at home in the Men's Bball tournament.

They do in the NFL and I believe the NHL.
March Madness is irrelevant to the conversation. A home game isn't on the line. EVERYBODY travels.

They should seed the host sites 1 through 16.
The top 8 seeds remaining then host the Super Regionals.
If you don't have 8 1s left, then go to the 2 seeds that beat the highest seeded 1 seeds, and so on.
It's SIMPLE.

Texas and Texas Tech went on the road this round and WON. Why should they be penalized for taking care of their business, while the higher seeded teams around them lost? That's how tournaments work. You seed everybody and let the chips fall where they may. Your solution is to keep penalizing the lower seeds round after round despite the fact that they are beating higher seeds to advance.
At the end of the day seeding is subjective. The higher seeds get the advantage at the outset of the tournament (home field and weaker opponents). What they do with that advantage from that point on is up to them.

This makes the most sense.

I can understand this and maybe agree to a point, but what about the #1 seeds that WON and took care of business. They get penalized. I don't know this to be accurate, but I get the feeling that after the national seeds are determined, the other hosting sites just get mixed and matched with the national seeds. I don't think they strictly seed 1-16.

No they dont, they used to NHL but they changed it this year.
And yes Ole Miss would be hosting under the hypothetical but LSU didnt take Ole Miss's spot.

I prefer static brackets.
The brackets are subjective anyway based on RPIs which credit you with losing (to good teams) but still losing, so they are flawed. And per the events of the weekend, the seeding wasn't exactly accurate.

The team with HFA in the NFL doesn't know who they'll play until the weekend is over. Could be three of the four teams from Wild Card weekend.

I was referring to NHL. They used to go 1-8 and reseed now they they go by divisions and 2 wild cards and a straight through bracket.
But people are always going to complain there is no perfect system. People didnt like the formats of 6 team regionals in the 90's and I remember people liking the super regional format. Now there are rumblings of changing that as well.

They're not being penalized for that.
They're being penalized because they didn't play well enough in the regular season to deserve to play at home for a Super Regional. Ole Miss did, relatively speaking, or else they wouldn't have been a host site.

This is retarded...thats like saying reseed any playoffs after an upset occurs...
shite happens! Gotta live with it and roll with it after that.

Their really is no true home field advantage in the Supers. You each get a chance to be the home team you have to switch dugouts.
You travel far enough in advance to not be tired from it.

Says the guy who hosts a Super Regional as a 2 seed over a 2 seed that has a better resume than them and beat a national seed to get there.
Houston beat the #7 national seed and SEC Tournament champion to get there.
Texas beat by some accounts the last team to get in the tournament to get there.
The system is fricked up.

So would you be bitching if aTm hosted instead of Coog High?
Or how about the fact that there are 4 Big XII teams in Supers...does that account for anything?
I do not understand your outrage othe than some hate of Texas.
If LSU takes care of business and Rice or aTm takes care of business we are not having this conversation.
