For some reason (old age and last night's beer maybe) I'm a little cloudy on the objective. Basically at the end of the regular season 8 teams are named National Seeds and they get to host their super regionals. Correct?
In other words finishing "Number 8" is just as good as finishing "Number 1".
And it doesn't matter at all who else is a National Seed. 5 or 6 super regionals could conceivably be in Texas, for instance. They're not going to penalize anyone because their neighbors are highly ranked. ???

16 teams host regionals. It is mainly based on merit, but some other factors like location and regional site (i e no shitty small ballparks) also factor in.
The top 8 are ranked 1 through 8. Like you said, they host the super regionals if they advance. 1 thru 8 are matched up with 9-16 (not ranked in any order) based somewhat by region. So #1 A&M could face the best not national seed TCU because it's a regional match up, but that isn't always the case. More than likely there will not be enough good teams in a single region, but like I mentioned earlier there is some consideration for location.
If a national seed does not advance it almost always goes to the other regional host assuming they advance. If neither then it kind of goes by if they made a bid, who's bid / host site is better, and who is higher ranked (the 2 seed would likely get it over a 4 seed).
