If you are in this position to begin with, your prospects for winning Einstein are probably somewhat slim.

Might as well play to make it as far as you possibly can, and see what happens from there!

I support breaking up the alliances 100%. Regardless of how you got there, you still "earned" that #1 seed, and have every right to maximize that opportunity.

Specifically for this year, the trickier question is whether you should KEEP a weaker team OUT of the #1 spot to prevent this situation from happening. Say you are in the top 8, and have a match against a weak team who will move into the #1 position with 2 CP. Should you decline co-oping with them so they don't get the #1 seed and break everyone (including you) up?
