This comment is an awesome perspective on the issue I didn't consider so props!

I'm still not a fan of super alliances after week 1 and if the teams involved have previously qualified for the championship (in regards to getting qualified for the championship and during the championship I'm all about survival of the fittest). I say this because if the two or three best teams compete against each other that brings in strategy into play instead of domination --and I feel like if you want to be the best you need to beat the best. Plus your alliance picks on those 1,2 and 3 seeds matter for strategy and all sorts of reasons not just to have them ride a great team's coattails.
