What does that have to do with sip hosting a regional?
I know the spirit in which the comment was offered, but in reality it's also an accurate statement. Getting into the Top 20, or maybe even 24 might be enough given the lack of Texas regionals. ...of course this year there's likely to be a limited number of Texas teams in the field as well so maybe you don't need them.
Weird year host site wise... No Louisiana site, no Houston site, no D/FW site. Lots and lots throughout the Gulf/Lower Atlantic coast states as always. Maybe only 3 out west? Could be a lot of interesting travel for teams this year.
Edit: for example UCLA is hosting in D1s most recent projection at #31 RPI. (Take that projection for what it's worth)
Yes, my comment was very tongue in cheek and what you are saying is valid about it not being totally unreasonable for them to possibly host despite their RPI. Of course, since this thread started as them hosting a regional that we were being sent to, it really would be a screw job if that still happened if/when we finish with a Top 16 RPI and they are down somewhere in the 20's.
I guess all we can do is take care of business so that we don't get screwed.
