It must be asked: Has a 1 seed ever lost a regional final to a 4? ***

- Start date
Fresno State in 2008 won regional, won super regional, won CWS
Stony Brook last year won regional, won super regional at LSU. Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.

To answer the original question, it has happened only once, in 2006.
In 224 chances before this season, only three #4-seeds have won a regional.
2006 - Missouri beat #1 (and host) Pepperdine in regional final (Missouri had to beat Pepperdine twice)
2008 - Fresno St. beat #2 San Diego in regional final (SD had to beat Fresno twice)
2012 - Stony Brook beat #2 Central FL in regional final (Stony Brook had to beat UCF twice)

Giving full credit. UCA is most likely one of the best #4 seeds in NCAA tournament history.
That being said, an SEC team playing at home in front of 10K with a Super on the line should beat a Southland team (with apologies to BabyDaddy of Cam) like a rented mule.
