Duke is a #1 seed - but can't host. Their stadium doesn't meet NCAA standards, so they go to Georgia. Pretty weak regional, though, so maybe that was the compensation.
Eight of the 16 regionals are at SEC schools. I love SEC softball, but SEC teams got way too much love in the draw.
Not sure if Duke’s field qualifies to host a regional or not. This year the sites were pre selected due to Covid. That’s how Georgia gets to host without being a top 16 seed. They should have moved Georgia to a different regional. Seems the committee pulls some sort of shenanigans for the SEC every year.
