The previous two matches had pretty glaring field faults in autonomous mode that caused the #1 alliance to miss nearly all their balls and spend time clearing them. The #8 seed did a fantastic job but you shouldn't make it seems like the replays weren't warranted or that the #1 seed didn't deserve to win. The field faults clearly contributed to the very large margins in the first two matches.
