Unless they've changed the rules, I believe you're correct! (and if the other host loses their regional, you could also host a Super)
They would do it because of $$ too. LSU in the past had also been able to guarantee more money then any other team putting in bids to host a regional.
I think we'll sneak into one of the polls this week. It appears that the Ole Miss game is a final. Looks like they lost 11-4 and we pass another team on our ascent.
Bama lost as well... LSU is in first place in the SEC West and 5th place overall at 12-11-1. South Carolina and Florida are at 13-11.
