Mostly that is correct... the way that the bracket is set up, if the #1 seed gets upset, then a lower seed could be red in the finals.

ex: 8 beats 1 in quarters, 8 is then red against, lets say, 4. If 8 beats 4 in the semis, then 8 would be red in the finals. Thus, they would be a lower seed, but still be red.

Granted, the #1 seed wins a lot... so that is part of it.
