#2 Florida
#4 Clemson 
#6 Vanderbilt
#8 Stanford
#9 Miami
#11 Oklahoma State
#12 Kentucky
#13 Auburn

Fully half of the regional hosts lost at least one of their first two games. The #5 LSU squad had their game against Oregon State postponed.

You can add #3 Arkansas to that list. They lost to TCU 14-1. TCU was the second seed in the pool, and had beaten Arkansas 15-6 in the second game of the regular season as well. TCU won 13 of their last 14 games, Arkansas lost four of their last eight. It's almost as if there's an SEC bias or something.
