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?

17 conference wins and we will host without a doubt.

magic number is 16/17 conference wins including the
SEC Tourney. I like our chances.

there are 8 regular season games left. We would have to finish 5-3 and get 3 wins in the sect to get to 40 before the selection. It’s more possible than you think.

I like our chances getting to 40 wins before the Regionals

If we win our last two series, both midweek games, and 2 games in the SECT, we'll get to 40 wins. That's very doable

As of this second, yes. Easily.
Without getting TOO complicated:
Last year the top 7 SEC seeds hosted a regional.
Were 32-15 right now. and 3rd place overall in SEC. (East and West)

Lets Say we go 4-4 in Final 8.
That puts us at 36 - 19.
That is better than FLA and SC and even with OM last year. All hosted regionals.
Last year the statistically worst SEC team to host a regional was SC at 33-21.

Lolno. 16 wins would make LSU 5-5 in SEC series including two series losses to close the season.

17 probably
18 is a lock

SEC tournament won't matter for hosting a regional. 18 wins would lock that. The SEC tournament can help for getting a top 8 seed like it did in 2014 when a 17-11-1 LSU team was a top 8 seed.

Regional hosts are decided BEFORE the SEC Ty is played.

17 SEC wins is usually a lock for hosting a regional, but you never know. If we win both remaining series (4-2), we'll end up 18-12 and will host a regional.

They're not decided but the tournament has little impact.

Top 8 seeds aren't.

LSU has worked there way into a top 8 seed in the SEC Tournament before.

Also exactly what I said.

If we win the next two series and look decent in Hoover, absolutely. We have zero shot at a Super. Logic would dictate that we end up paired with USM, but logic doesn't have a lot to do with it when it comes to the committee and LSU and they'll probably send us to the West Coast (again). Maybe they know that LSU fans travel wherever so they send us to the places that other team's fans are less likely to travel to.

Stranger things have happened. Very unlikely, yes.

To the OP, we have a pretty doable path to hosting a regional.

They seed and pair the hosts 1-16. They dont do it based on geography anymore. Honestly, we need to win as much as we can, hosting as the 15-16 seed paired with tennessee or oregon st is probably a death sentence id like to avoid

not anymore they aren't. That said, the SECT hasn't shown to have much of an effect on hosting either.

You somehow get to 19 wins(which would take sweeping ole miss or vandy) and you will absolutely get a super. 18 wins and you would be considered depending on how well you did in the conference tournament.

16/17 wins you're hosting a regional.

Meh, I wouldn't say that. Finishing 18-12 in the SEC would put us in the conversation and 19-11 would give us a really good argument. If we finished 19-11, that would mean we won 7 of 10 SEC series, winning our last 5, and 12 of our last 15 SEC games We have a good shot of finishing 18-12. 19-11 would obviously be a bit taller of an order but not impossible either. So to say we have "zero shot" at hosting a super is not really true

While I agree I would like to see a Crews Missile off a 105 mph fastball. It might never come back.
