But the teams we'd be competing with to host are 5 to 8 loss teams, with plenty of losses to teams worse than SFA or WKU. Chances are we'll lose out just because the committee won't want to reward the state of Texas for having the best college volleyball programs in the country (they'll hang on to territorial rights and give the benefit of the doubt to a California school, or Big 10 program instead).

But the likely 2 seeds in Austin or Waco are going to be Texas A&M and SFA. A&M may drop out of the top 25 after losing in 4 at LSU over the weekend. I think we'll end up being a 2 seed at somewhere like Kentucky, Purdue perhaps, or even a Pac 12 team like California, Utah or Washington. Put it this way - UT and Baylor are going to be very, very upset if they are 1 and 2 in the RPI, and end up getting one of the strongest 2 seeds of anyone in the tournament.
