The next few weeks will help determine that. Of course, I might be a little biased, but I think UL is peaking at the right time. But we shall see.
Here is some more discussion about this from the BA projection:
"So then it came down to ULL vs. South Alabama. This was more challenging. USA's lead in the standings is important, and we do believe the committee would lean towards picking the regular-season champion if it really were to come down to one of these teams or the other. But right now, "Louisiana" (fift) otherwise has stronger credentials. The Cajuns are ahead in the RPI at No. 12, with the Jaguars at No. 20, and they have a much stronger top 100 record at 12-8, with USA at just 5-4. UL and USA still have to play head-to-head May 13-15, a series that could well decide who gets to play at home in the postseason and who doesn't. We're tempted to stick with USA, given its standings lead and the fact the series with ULL is at home in Mobile, but we'll go with ULL this week on the strength of its other numbers and its more positive momentum."

Unofficially, we get to claim Coastal once Regionals begin. At that point, they will be completely done with Big South competition

RE: Baseball regional projections
I get the politics of why UL would host (they have before, large crowds, large seating capacity) but if USA wins the conference then I would hope they would have a chance to host over UL.

Gotta have the RPI. We will see how it plays out. In 2013 it was 17, so we barely missed hosting.

Good points on the RPI. Best of luck to both teams. I'd love to see another SBC team host.

Politics??? Whuh? While we have a good program we aren't in a P5, we aren't LSU. We are in the SBC just like the rest of you...if we host it will be because we earned it..they aren't gonna give us sht..or USA. Believe me, if either one of us host a regional we will have more than earned it. Still a lot of season left for both of us.

Good point. I guess what I meant by politics was that it's hard to get int he hosting club it's easier to host again over someone new. But I do agree any SBC team hosting is hard earned. I was happy to earn a 2 seed once in Austin. Hosting a regional with them that close is impossible unless they don't qualify. I can see LSU as a major threat since they are so close as well to UL.

arent these regionals still bid on by schools. I know a-m and texas never leave town for the first round because they have the resources to bid high whenever their teams are nearing the playoffs. even tcu has a large enough stadium and some avid money backers to put up a good bid when they might have a team in a position for a high seed.

You do have to bid but you also have to earn it, texas could bid their entire athletic budget this year and they won't even get in. If you earn it but don't bid, you will be on the road as a #1. In 2000 we were close to hosting so we bid, ECU didn't...we hosted as a #2 and ECU was the #1 in our regional. Your ball park also has to meet certain standards with lighting, room for press etc.

The Cajuns put in a bid regardless of whether or not they think they're qualified to host. It's basically a formality. The host sites aren't chosen by who puts up the most money. In recent years the committee has done a pretty good job in selecting hosts.

Would we bid this year? Serious question because of the upcoming renovations that are going to go into January/February 2017.
My gut feeling is that Tony will bid because you always want to reward your team and fans with the opportunity to play at home following a great regular season, but that cuts 2 weeks out of Lemoine's schedule to get the renovation complete. I'm sure some fans would be pissed if the renovation is not complete by the start of the 2017 season.

I'm sure our fans would be ok with the park opening a little late if we host.

RE: Baseball regional projections
USA has historically been screwed by the NCAA in terms of hosting. They would always give us excuses as to why we couldn't host. In 2001 we were the #1 seed but Clemson hosted. The next year in 2002 we were the #1 seed playing in the South Bend (Notre Dame) regional. In 2013 we just barely missed out of hosting, but we did bid on a regional. I know that we'll bid again this year.
