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.

Here's a dumb question (please answer honestly, not tear the question apart):

Does the NCAA still show any emphasis on putting a regional somewhere that would draw a big crowd?

I know the top seeds will host. I'm wondering about, if you put ten teams in a hat for the bottom 4 regional seeds (13-16), would they put any weight on the fact that one of those teams (LSU, for example) would have 8k+ at each game, and another might have 2k?
I'm talking about teams that otherwise are closely grouped.

I felt like they USED to do that, if they could. Even though the money is all now TV money, it still looks better on TV to play at a big packed house. You want your product to have an atmosphere.
I'm looking at this, measuring LSU vs Fla as a host.
