The teams that hosted a regional were Auburn, LSU, Virginia, Clemson, Columbia, Coastal Carolina, Miami, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Oklahoma State, Indiana State, Alabama, and Wake Forest. It does not guarantee victory though, as nine of the 16 teams that hosted a regional tournament advanced to the next round.
