This is good
After looking at the polls a few more teams could host
FAU is ranked but has a RPI 40 (We don't need another florida host)
BYU is 26-5 and ranked in the 20-25 range but has a RPI 32 (They might be selected just to have a hosting site in the west. They also have 6 top 50 RIP games left of their schedule)
Missouri State is 26-6 and ranked #16 but they have a RPI 63 (Same reasoning as BYU but they don't have any top 50 RPI games on their schedule)

I probably would add UC Santa Barbara as a team to watch as far as hosts. Still early in their conference season, but they are 21-7 and top 10 in RPI.
BYU not playing on Sunday might actually help them host. C-USA winner will host - whether that's USM, Rice or Florida Atlantic remains to be seen.

If you just break it down by region (because they always end up spreading it around even if it isn't totally equitable)
SOUTH
Florida (RPI 1) (SOS 2)
South Carolina (RPI 2) (SOS 8)
Miami (RPI 3) (SOS 5)
Ole Miss (RPI 4) (SOS 3)
Louisville (RPI 5) (SOS 15)
Florida State (RPI 6) (SOS 1)
Clemson (RPI 7) (SOS 19)
South Alabama (RPI 9) (SOS 34)
Texas A&M (RPI 10) (SOS 53)
Vanderbilt (RPI 12) (SOS 44)
Charleston (RPI 13) (SOS 7)
NC State (RPI 14) (SOS 14)
Mississippi St (RPI 15) (SOS 10)
Southern Miss (RPI 16) (SOS 41)
North Carolina (RPI 17) (SOS 25)
Coastal Carolina (RPI 18) (SOS 23)
NORTHEAST/MIDWEST
Minnesota (RPI 19) (SOS 48)
Creighton (RPI 24) (SOS 87)
Michigan State (RPI 28) (SOS 136)
Bryant (RPI 29) (SOS 166)
BIG 12/WEST
UCSB (RPI 8) (SOS 33)
Texas Tech (RPI 11) (SOS 26)
TCU (RPI 30) (SOS 84)
Gonzaga (RPI 31) (SOS 92)
BYU (RPI 32) (SOS 163)
Cal (RPI 34) (SOS 74)
Oregon State (RPI 36) (SOS 116)
If Minnesota or Michigan State win the Big Ten and finish with a Top 20 RPI they will host.
If Creighton finishes with 40+ wins, wins the Big East and finishes with a Top 25 RPI they could possible host (don't they play at TD Ameritrade or doe they play at the other new park?).
UCSB will host. Texas Tech will host barring a collapse. I don't see any Pac 12 team that will host unless Cal or Oregon State runs away with the league.
I think everyone else will be ACC/SEC/CUSA and maybe South Alabama.
