The only possible solutions I see is getting rid of the litter bonuses, or randomizing your opponents in the quarters and semi's (but that doesn't totally solve the issue).

You are assuming that the teams playing against the top ranked teams will not do the Noodle agreement with them. Rank 1 and 2 play Rank 7 and 8 in QF's. I'm 100% sure the Rank 7 and 8 alliances aren't going to purposely handicap themselves just so the rank 3-6 teams can advance.
In the SF you play each other team once, so even if 3 and 4 only TNA withselves, Rank 1 and 2 still get to TNA with themselves.
