Now, given LSU has been blown out on most Sundays this season I would say 2 sweeps is HIGHLY unlikely. But if they somehow did it there would be an argument for LSU to host.
yall really believe the margins are so tight in each game going forward that 5-1, 6-0 gets us a host?

•2-4 (11-19 SEC; 0% chance at postseason)
•3-3 (12-18 SEC; pretty unanimously agreed upon here on tRant this equals no postseason unless we win SECt)
•4-2 (13-17 SEC; pretty unanimously agreed upon here that LSU sneaks into a regional as a 3-seed in a regional. Historically only 38% of SEC teams have made a regional at 13-17)

But:
•5-1 or 6-0 then LSU is HOSTING a regional?

No, not far-fetched.

Idk seems pretty far fetched to me

LSU would have to win 9+ games imo between today and selection day to host a regional including SECt play but no reason to get your hopes up for something that won’t happen. LSU could advance through a regional and super without hosting.

So basically your argument is TRant crowdsourcing opinion vs. actual data.

Last year on May 4th Alabama was 30-15 (9-12)

This year on May 3rd LSU was 29-17 (7-14)

Alabama went 7-2 in their final three SEC series over top 25 Vanderbilt, bubble team A&M, and bottom dweller Ole Miss to finish 38-17 (16-14)

Were LSU to go 6-0, that means they would go 8-1 in their final three SEC series over #1 A&M, fringe top 25 Alabama, and bottom dweller Ole Miss to finish 38-18 (15-15)

That means there would be a one game difference between 2024 LSU's and 2023 Alabama's record. Alabama was a host site (#16).

Again, is it more likely than not LSU would get a host site in that scenario? No. But I don't see how you can say it is "pretty far fetched" when an SEC team with a record almost identical to what LSU's would be if they went 6-0 was a host site just last year.
