Currently, the way it’s done now is fair and simple. If you seed in first place, you deserve first pick. And while the first seed certainly has the advantage, they won’t always win. In almost every case it seems that it's not the best team that makes up the alliance, but the best combination of teams. Disallowing the picking of teams with in the top eight would make an interesting rule change which would end any 1-2 seed alliances, but at the same time would make picking a lot harder because in most cases first seeds pick list's top eight are the rankings top eight.
