It can/has happened

With 8 divisions and the #1 seed getting to pick their back up first I'm not sure that the depth of championship divisions is what it was in years past, or the 8th alliance can pick a strong enough team from that position.

I think the best chance is a team that people don't want to play with seeding #1.
