They have NC State as a Regional host right now and say the winner of this weekend's series with Louisville is in position to be a top-eight seed (which means they would host a Super Regional):

"• Louisville finally won a road series, taking two of three at North Carolina last weekend to fill a big hole in its national seed resume. That sets up this weekend’s set with N.C. State, where a spot in the top eight will likely be decided. The Wolfpack did lose its series last weekend to Clemson, but that doesn’t change its outlook much if at all. The Wolfpack remains No. 6 in the RPI and in fourth place overall in the ACC at 13-9, one game back in the loss column behind 16-8 Louisville. It was always going to come down to this series deciding who had the inside track on a national seed. Of course, the possibility remains that both could be national seeds, especially if one of South Carolina or Texas A&M sweeps the other or if Florida State falls off.

The Seminoles aren’t a lock national seed yet, as they’re behind both UofL and NCSU in the RPI at No. 9 and don’t have an easy finishing schedule, with a road series against a tough Duke team and then finishing the year at home against Miami. Should FSU lose those series, that’d be losses in three of their last four and possibly leave them behind one or both of UofL and NCSU in the standings, which could offset the Noles’ head-to-head edge. They won two of three against Louisville and won the only game they played against N.C. State before the rest of the series was rained out, but all of those games were at home."
