When the regional hosts sites get announced.
3-4 potential sites are wide open. If UCLA is a lock its going to be 3 spots between:
Tennessee
Florida
Alabama
Ole Miss
TCU
Southern Miss
Georgia Tech
Outside looking in: NC State but could steal a top 16 if they win the ACC.
Imo Tech is a lock to host. Tennessee and Ole Miss are both one win away from probably being a lock. Either way there are going to be some top seeds who get a very tough draw.
