Wait until district championships and world championships and I think you'll again see the higher seeds winning as often as they normally do.
I've always seen it the opposite way. At a district or regional, the top tier of robots is usually about 2-4 robots, which usually end up on the top 1-3 alliances. In a championship division, that top tier is something like 20 teams or so. As a result, the pool of teams to pick from is much deeper, and the difference between the alliances is much smaller. So a 5 seed making Einstein(1241, 610, 1477 in 2013), is not very surprising.
