NCAA Super Regional hosts are determined through the national seed ranking and merit. 

The top 8 national seeds are automatically guaranteed as the Super-Regionals hosts before the Regional round begins. Likewise, these eight teams will not play against each other in this round. So, if the top 8 seeds reach the super-regionals, then they will play against the bottom eight colleges. 

However, there are instances where the underdog team achieves comebacks and wins the NCAA Regionals. So, when two non-seeded teams play against each other, they will have to perform a bidding process to hold the games on their turf. The NCAA committee is the final decision maker. 

NCAA will prioritize two factors from the bidding colleges that would bring larger revenue by having great facilities. Once they analyze the better college, they will approve the home field duty. However, in this system, there may be scenarios where the home team may not act like a home team, and will not be at the bottom of the innings.

This 2023 tournament is loaded with many top-seeded teams like Wake Forest and LSU while having the inclusion of underdogs like Oral Roberts and Oregon. However, since the tournament's foundation back in the 1940s, colleges have gained annual glory multiple times.
