Host a Super Regional-NO Thanks

Here's my reasoning. Since 1999 when Super Regionals began, there has been no clear evidence that hosting the Super helps a team get to Omaha. Only 53% of the host teams move on. I dare say it hurts a teams chance because the 43% where they lost, they were probably favored. This is bearing out with the SEC teams left in the Supers. The reason, given by experts, is they have a tremendous amount of pressure being favored and from their fans. Bulldogs, this is clearly our case in that of the 9 times were have gone to Omaha, only once (1) have we hosted. So next Super-We'll Pass
