Rank vs. blue banner chance

This is something I have been thinking about for awhile now. what would a graph look like that plotted your seeding rank vs. your chance to be on the winning alliance?
Does seeding first actually give the highest chance of winning? (and by how much?) Who has a higher chance of winning, 7th seed or 8th seed? Is seeding higher really always better, and if not, are there circumstances where throwing a match give you a higher chance of winning the regional?
Unfortunately, I don't know how to compile the FRC/TBA data to make a graph like this. Is there anyone else who would be interested enough to do it?
