What's the over/under for how many of these Regional Site/Hosts change from this projection to the actual selection. Of the 16, would it be reasonable to say that only 9 end up hosting?
Teams that could steal a hosting spot(Base off RPI)
Clemson (Currently #7 in RPI)
Coastal Carolina
UNC
Georgia Tech
Creighton
Kentucky
Michigan State
The RPI gap is huge this year. Outside those 7 teams, who else could host a regional?
Michigan State is 22-6 but with a SOS of 136 and an RPI 28. If they won the Big 10, they might host a regional.

I bet if Michigan State finishes 43-10 and 19-5 in the B1G with an RPI around 25 or so that they get a host.
The NCAA bends over backwards to give northern teams regionals if at all possible. However, I know nothing about their facilities. I bet they aren't big enough.
EDIT:
LOL, yea, no way. Seats 2,500.

This is great analysis. I'll add a little.
Clemson is probably the next in line to host. They will probably end up hosting.
Either Coastal Carolina or College of Charleston will host, but not both.
North Carolina and Georgia Tech have work to do, but really are competing against NC State and Clemson.
Michigan State will host if they win the B1G.
Kentucky and Ole Miss need to be in the top 5 in the SEC to have a chance.
Creighton needs South Alabama and or CoC/Coastal Carolina to bomb out.

We got fricked from hosting last time because they felt there were "too many Southern sites" and Cliff Hagan is a small venue. I feel like with how top heavy the rankings are with potential ACC and SEC hosts that we'd be one of the last options to steal a spot.
I'd be surprised if they don't dump us in Louisville again as the 2.
