Teams on the 2 Seed Line
Southern Miss
Louisiana Tech
One of these could end up hosting, but both will not. Its likely that one of them will head to one of the SEC West regionals. Charlotte won that conference's regular season and with South Carolina likely out as a regional host, they probably get it at the minor league park.
Miami
North Carolina State
Pittsburgh
Miami would be a stronger 2 seed, and it makes sense to send them to a non-national seed. Would not be surprised to see the Wolfpack though. Pitt was a potential host but lost their last six and they are out.
Oklahoma State
Geographically, it makes sense to send OSU to Fayetteville, but Oklahoma State all of a sudden has a Top 16 RPI and is on a hot streak. I doubt they get sent to the overall No. 1
Oregon State
Not as good as they once were but a good name brand that is a possibility. Gonzaga probably gets them. as a 2 seed though.
Teams on the 3 Seed Line
South Alabama
Regular season champions of the Sun Belt. If we get one of the ACC 2 seeds, I could see the Jaguars ending up in Starkville if they win the Sun Belt Tournament
Florida State
I think the Seminoles will be a 3 seed. If we were to draw USM or Tech, it makes sense to send a weaker P5.
Baylor
The Bears are on the bubble, but if they get in, Starkville could be a destination.
Arizona State
The Sun Devils are in, and with no non-Pac 12 hosts, will either end up at one of the Texas or SEC West regionals.
Teams on the 4 Seed Line
The Ohio Valley Conference Champion
Southeast Missouri won the regular season, but Murray State and Jacksonville State were in contention.
The SWAC Champion
Jackson State went unbeaten in the SWAC. If they win the tournament, I think they probably go to Hattiesburg or Oxford. If anyone else wins the tournament, they could end up in Starkville
A Random Northeastern conference champion
The NCAA could reward one of the random conference champions with a great experience in Starkville.
