re: Yes, there is way too much emphasis on being National Seed (stats inside!)

no. I haven't come remotely close to saying that.
But you did say this:

I'm of the opinion, btw, that LSU has burned a lot of mental energy in recent years making a late charge to get a national seed, only to then look less than sharp in the NCAAT. I'd rather this team stay loose and peak than put all their mental faculties into that precious national seed.

This...
Can you at least admit that this was one of the dumbest statements in the history of this web site? Then I'll just leave it alone.

Is anyone else worried that LSU has used up too much mental energy trying to get to Omaha, and that they may now be less than sharp because of it?

Last 5 teams left are national seeds. The only national seeds that made it this far.
Those are my stats.

From ncaa.com - how do national seeds perform?
I know it'll be hard for you 3 slack-jacked, sloped-forheaded ninnies to get through all the big words in the article, but there are nice pictures for you!:
This despite the fact that there are no host sites in NCAA basketball.
This would indicate to someone like me (degree in stats) as well as the average layperson that, while hosting can be seen as advantageous, hosting as a precious national seed (ell_13_akaChester bows his knee in quiet reverence) is *not* a factor in ultimate success when compared to the control group.

Spots held by top eight seeds in modern NCAA tournament history
CWS/ELITE8 -- CHAMPIONSHIP GAME -- CHAMPION
Baseball -- 56.3% -- 58.3% -- 38.9%
Basketball -- 58.0% -- 68.2% -- 75.8%
For as crazy as March is known to be, the top eight teams in basketball tend to perform much better than their baseball counterparts.
