So much for SEC dominance. The only 2 SEC teams that advanced won over other SEC teams. The other 5 in the super-regional all lost.

Conference breakdown:
PAC-12 4
SEC 2
Big 12 1
ACC 1

That looks to be correct. Going 8-0 is beyond what you would expect from home field advantage, but of course they were all hosting because they were rated higher.

I think home team has huge advantage in Regional and Super Regional, but more in Supers


After further review, home team did win every Regional. NCAA tilted brackets to give PAC 12 an advantage in Super Regionals.

Fork you!

Of course if the SEC doesn’t perform, its NCAA bias. Ballcoach, just stop it.

California has more native D-I softball players than any other state. Arizona is third. PAC 12 keeps them close to home - not too shabby.

Did the Committee let them have more players? More outs? Spot them runs?

The SEC got EVERY. SINGLE. TEAM. into the tourney. You yourself were PO’ed at Missouri. I think the bottom third of SEC got too much credit, and while the committee let them in, they gave PAC12 more respect at top.

Oklahoma is still the most complete team I’ve seen this year. Scary good.

If the SEC was truly as good as you say they were they schools wouldn't of had any issue with a little thing like home field advantage.

What you are basically saying is that placing every team in the SEC in the tournament was not enough, they should have also given them all home field advantage in the super regionals. Ridiculous.

A lot of match-ups beginning with Super Regionals, raises some questions . Just one "seeding" of "one team", can tilt entire tournament. Looks as if Committee was trying to insure 1 or 2 certain teams meet in finals.


But there's one given, only Oklahoma has home field advantage now.
