Can someone please explain the logic of home/away teams in regionals/super regionals

What is the point of seeding teams in a regional if the higher seeded team isn’t always the home team? This is a serious question. Why is the NCAA’s rationale for designating a lower seed as a home team. Sort of like in the super regionals when your team is the host team, yet if it goes to a game 3 there’s a coin toss. Bullshite. We earned the host site, we get the last at bat. It’s frustrating. Sorry, let the bashing of me start..........now

There isn’t

I agree with the way you think it should be done. They're just trying to minimize the home field advantage. For example in the Supers, the host should be the home team in games 1 and 3 no matter what.

The NCAA tries to make it as “fair” as they can for all teams to have a level playing field.
That said, it’s a stupid idea. The better seeded team should always get home field.

I’m ok with evening out home field advantage but if there’s an uneven amount of games, the benefit should go to the higher seeded team who earned that seed. So I’m okay with a 1-1-1 format in the supers but a 1-1-coin flip is horrible.

Designed to give every team an equitable chance in the tournament. you earn a host spot by your full season of work. Then 1 and 2 are home in opening games and then it is by who had home last or a coin flip.
once the games start everything becomes a pseudo neutral site. nothing wrong with this.
If Tigers advance and go to Georgia no one will complain when they are home in game 2. Hopefully you will have this same frustration next weekend if Georgia fails to advance.

They did change that rule for the Supers. So the host will automatically be home for games 1 and 3.

Weaker/smaller programs are given preferential treatment via a type of affirmative action.
It's one of the reasons the biggest/strongest football conferences took away the NCAA's control over the BCS and now the playoff bowl system and told the NCAA "here, hold my beer."

Agreed. And if you want the last bat in the NCAAs win more games during the season.

It's not about higher seeding. It's about a level playing field at that point. Its not that big of a deal

I agree that it needs to be changed but I get their logic.
The advantage you’ve earned is playing in front of your fans and sleeping in your bed with your locker room, weight room, and routines. As far as the game on the field is concerned it is a “neutral site” so that the gameplay does not give one team an advantage.
I do think they need to at least say they 2-0 team is home over the 2-1 team regardless of other stuff.

My guess is that they're trying to make this as equitable as possible. The on campus host sites are only a thing because there aren't enough neutral site facilities to host all of these games like the basketball tournament.

There is an abundance of neutral sites. The issue is that there’s no market for college baseball outside of the local markets of the teams participating. It’s 100% a money thing.

You’re hosting an NCAA event/tournament, not a home game. The seeds are done to set the bracket. It’s not the sinister plot you make it out to be.

They don’t get to use their locker room or dugout if they aren’t the designated home team. Unless the NCAA changed that rule.

Can someone explain the logic of you crybabies every single year making these posts as if it’s the first NCAA postseason you have ever witnessed.
LSU gets to play in their home stadium in front of 10,500 fans, 95% which will be cheering wildly for them. That is the motivation for playing at home in the postseason.

I do get the advantage of knowing the field, as you are familiar with the way the ball plays there.
Still, I think having the bottom of the inning might be a bigger benefit. You always get the final chance to win. It's like the CFB OT rules, I think more teams honestly would rather have last possession than be the home team. Electric atmospheres elevate visiting teams too.
And with our "knowledgeable fanbase" cheering on "scrappy opponents" who make plays, that atmosphere can sometimes not be a homefield advantage.
Note- my desire to see 'good baseball' falls far below my desire to see an LSU victory. I leave that shite for games I have no rooting interest in.

With the rules, I'd prefer visitor for 1 seed in opening game.
