The pitching argument does make you think that the SR is easier to win than the Regional but looking at Kent State's case and the statistics, winning a Super Regional on the road is much much harder.
78 of the 104 Super Regionals have been won by the host team (75%). And KSU had to go all the way to Eugene instead of the drive to Gary, IN.
another interesting number 81 of 105 (77%) Game 1 winners have gone on to win the series.

Would you rather have to win 3-4 games on the road or just 2 games on the road??? I'll take 2 please. That alone makes winning a Regional easier. If you assume that you are going to have to beat a Top 25 school on the road twice in both situations, the Regional becomes tougher because there are other teams in the mix aswell and they deplete your pitching.
One win away from Omaha. WOW! |
