re: Will baseball host a regional?

I feel like we need to go at least 2/3 in the remaining series and win the mid week games, then win at least 1 tourny game to lock down a regional host.
Sweep the next two weekends and win 2 tourny games and we are hosting a super

So 18-12 is not good enough to host alone in your opinion?
We also need to win the midweeks plus one in the SECT.

I actually think that regionals should be true regionals like 20 something years ago when there were 48 teams with 8 regionals of 6 teams…and very few teams travelled 1000s of miles.
Bruh, that was never the case. You just didn’t notice because we hosted every single year from 1990-2005. We had plenty of west coast teams in our regionals. They just picked sites based on how much money they could make and filled out the rest as best they could. Hell, we hosted as a 2 seed at least once back then.
But like I said, it is unavoidable to have teams traveling far away without quotas for where hosts are and the number of teams selected from each geographical region.

I think we’ll host to based off of the fact we have the best fan base in college baseball. It would be tough for the committee to pick some no-name team to host over us

It seems as if we have a damn good shot at it. We mathematically still have a chance to win 40 games (even though I don’t think it’ll happen). Y’all think we host?
Just win baby Win.
Ole Miss and Vandy are beatable but won't be easy taking both series. Both teams have underperformed by a country mile. They will be chomping at the bit to take down LSU to prove themselves going into post-season.

It’s not 1997 anymore…
Which is a shame, because that was a GREAT year

that alone gets LSU to 40 wins....and 18 in the SEC...which would be a lock to host.

LSU is currently #16 in the RPI. Dallas Baptist is ahead of them but only 9-6 in their conference having lost 3 of 5 series. Georgia Southern’s RPI is just anomaly and I think the committee will see through that. Vandy, Auburn, Georgia and Florida are ahead of LSU with worse conference records. On the flip side, you have Arkansas and Stanford with better conference records. As of today, LSU would probably be a #12-13 seed.
So, what would drop them from the top 16? If they finish behind Auburn, Georgia and A&M in the conference standings, that probably puts them at #15. They probably only lose a host spot to Vandy if they get swept by them or if Vandy wins the series and the series at Arkansas. If Southern Miss finishes with a higher RPI, that could drop LSU to #16. Texas and Florida St could pass them if they end up with better conference records, but FSU has Miami and at UNC left which is going to be tough.
So what do they need to do?
1) Don’t get swept by Vandy.
2) Finish with a better/equal conference record than 2 out of 5 amongst Auburn, Georgia, A&M, Texas and FSU. (Maybe Florida as well if they sweep their last 2 series.)
So, the answer to the question is still somewhat dependent on what other teams do as well. If they end up 17-13, they almost certainly stay ahead of enough teams to be in the Top 16. At 16-14, it’s going to depend on how things shake out for the others on this list.
