Should the bracket re-seed after regionals?

The current system awards regional hosts based on who the best teams were during the season. But it doesn’t always do the same for Supers, as we see this year with 3 seed Troy hosting a Super while regional hosts Oregon and Miss State hit the road.
We’re guaranteed to have either 4 seed Little Rock or 3 seed Troy in Omaha just because of the dumb luck of how the bracket fell. Why not award Super hosts to Oregon and Miss State for being high seeds instead of Troy because of pure luck? Could get better teams in Omaha and thus better games.
SR matchups if we re-seeded, using selection Monday RPI to break ties between 2/3/4 seeds:
St. John’s at 3 Georgia
Little Rock at 4 Auburn
Cal Poly at 5 North Carolina
Troy at 6 Texas
Oklahoma at 7 Alabama
Ole Miss at 11 Oregon
USC at 14 Miss State
16 West Virginia at 15 Kansas

You would have to seed the entire field in case you didnt have 8 1 seed winners from the regionals
I.E. say 7 1 seeds win regionals, then 7 2 seeds, 1 3 seed, 1 4 seed
Who among the 2 seeds host a super? Where does rest of 2, 3 and 4 seeds get sent (need that regardless I guess of 7 or less 1 seed regional winners or not)? etc...
Does the 4 seed automatically get sent to the highest remaining national seed regional winner? Or by "luck of the original draw" gets sent to the 1 2 seed hosting?

you could seed the unseeded teams once they reach the supers. it’s all arbitrary anyway.

Leave it alone
It seems to work out in the end no matter who you play

No. It's a tournament. Let it play out.

Because it wasn't pure luck.

No, I want mid-majors to make Omaha.
Reseeding hurts that.

I like it just the way it is. Of course I like it better when we are in it.

It's just college baseball bro. Calm down

So you punish the teams who beat the higher seeds?
frick that, you keep what you kill!!

It was A LOT of luck. Troy wouldn’t be hosting a Super without chaos in the Hattiesburg Regional opposite them. Had it gone chalk and USM won, Troy would have to travel to Hattiesburg. Since Troy is a 3 seed, even if the 2 seed Virginia won in Hattiesburg, Troy would have to travel to Virginia too.
Something feels wrong about Troy getting an ABSOLUTE GIFT of a home matchup against a 4 seed while much better and more deserving teams like Oregon and Miss State get fed to Texas and Georgia.
West Virginia couldn’t be happier with how this bracket shook out. Under my system they’d be hitting the road to Kansas. Instead Get gifted a home Super against a 3 seed, then get to play either Troy or Little Rock game 1 in Omaha. 3 easy wins, Won’t be challenged until the 1-0 game in Omaha. Again while better teams than them have much tougher roads.
I want a system that rewards the best of the best, not charity cases like Troy and WVU.

They fricking destroyed Florida. That's not luck.
Little Rock ran through their regional. Also not luck.
They earned their spots.
Your idea sucks and you're not actually a college baseball fan if you want that change made.

As a UGA fan, I say yes. But only for this year

Wait wait wait, you mean to tell me that the ACC, who had been crowing about how good their baseball was all year and got the #1 and #2 seeds only got 1 team into the supers and both top seeds lost?
Christ on a cracker the ACC just sucks at postseason success in general dont they?

I wouldn't change baseball. A 4 beating a 1 isn't typically looked at in basketball terms of a 1 losing to a 16 seed. More parity in baseball is fun for the chaos in outcomes. Nobody really wants to see Norfolk State as a 16 cruise to the Elite 8.

Did you have a similar thread from when 9th seeded Iowa beat UF in the men's bb tourney that they should have played Houston (2 seed) instead Nebraska (4 seed).
Or how Ark was gifted with the 12th seed High point who should have "won" the chance to play Arizona in the 2nd round after beating the 5th seed in round 1?
