SEC is certainly over-represented among the host schools as we are seeing in regional play. But the SEC has dominated NCAA baseball lately. 8 national champs and 7 runners up in the past 13 years. Not dominated by any one school either - South Carolina (x2), Vanderbilt (x2), Mississippi State, Mississippi, Florida, LSU.

The only other conference with multiple championships during that period? Pac12 with 3.

But are the SEC teams objectively better or do they have an advantage because of overrepresentation and home field advantage in the regionals? If they get more teams into the CWS and then it's a double-elimination format, I'd say that works in their favor, however slightly.
