If Dallas Baptist wins their regional and South Carolina wins the Greenville Regional, which team would host the Super Regional?
the winnin' bid is n a sealed mayonnaise jar under funk & wagnalls porch
We would. Higher seed hosts, not sure if it was a tie in seeds, but in this case we're a 2 and DB is a 3.
Thanks. Was not sure. I was thinking Dallas could host if they beat Arkansas as a result of Arkansas being one of the top eight seeded teams.
No. If the "national seed" (i.e., a 1-8 seed) loses, then the NCAA awards the hosting to the regional winner who submitted the "best" bid. Seeding, or which regional you were in does not factor. Even if the regional winners were DBU & ECU, it would still be a matter of which school's bid the NCAA would award the super regional.
Having stated that, I would think that USC would have a more attractive bid than DBU (assuming that DBU submitted a bid). I would think that ECU would have a more attractive bid than DBU as well.
Of course, it's all moot since the pigs won their regional.
Ecu would host because they were the #12 national seed

In the past if a 2 seed upset a Top 8 and the matched up Regional's 1 seed won their Regional, the higher rated seed hosted (see us hosting OSU in 2016 after they knocked out the top 8 seed Clemsux). Only time it goes to bid is if the winner were the same seed within their respective Regionals. I thought it went up to bid regardless too, but had read the rule wrong.
1-8 National seeds are guaranteed if they win. 9-16 get it if the top 8 team they are paired with lose in their regional

I think a lot of the confusion this is year is due to the fact that 9-16 are actually seeded this year, but haven't been in the past.

This is the first year that they have actually seeded 9-16. Previously it was 1-8 for the National seeds, with 8 at large sites that were matched up geographically. There was not a 1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15, etc in previous years.
That is where the confusion lies with the more "casual" fan on who gets to host the Super if a National seed is eliminated. Everyone, 1-16, is a National Seed, simply 1-8 are guaranteed the Super if they win once the Regionals are matched accordingly, as above.

You're a national treasure COE!
I haven't heard anybody talk about Funk & Wagnalls in a long time. Kind of like Britannica since these laptops and smart phones took over.
I guess that's the difference between this year and previous ones.
