Good writeup. Alot of data there im sure wont even be considered by the committee. I think of your list of 4 potential hosts, i think louisville is hosting over lsu. Louisville went 18-11 in conference, has a higher rpi, and better quad 1 record.

Yes, I agree that a lot of my data points won’t be considered by the committee. I was trying to balance between things I thought should be used to determine hosts and what the committee would actually do.

As to Louisville, I agree that based on the criteria the committee typically considers, they would be ahead of LSU for a host spot. The one factor I believe that would work in LSU’s favor is if the committee judges LSU to be 3rd or 4th in line for a host spot amongst SEC teams and the committee decides the SEC should get 3 or 4 spots before the ACC gets 5. That’s why I think Florida has to lose today for LSU to have any shot at hosting.
