Lots of discussions about the rules for hosting, but the reality is, this is coming down to bid + merit. Both teams have similar RPI and SOS numbers, but FSU finished the season much stronger and have a better record, in addition to winning their conference. Based on merit, FSU should host. The facility difference might be enough to make up the difference, though. Supposed to be announced tonight.

Word is Arkansas's bid was around 50% higher. Personally, I'm not hopefully, but a lot of people think it's about 50-50.
