Kettering, Hatboro-Horsham, Chestnut Hill, and especially Waterford (All red alliances won/advanced) are examples of this.
You might have mistaken how each one of the red alliances won at least one match in the quarter finals, but there were very definitely only three red alliance advances.

In response to your second point, yes, red alliances can still win. In the two regional events that I watched bad scouting and good strategy played as much a role as anything else. But three regional events with major upsets says to me that there is a little more unpredictability in who wins a regional.
