This is where you normally would hope that the 8th ranked alliance might pick you as their second choice. Now if you find yourself in this position you had might as well talk to everyone and letting them know that your team still shines with potential, and is worthy of helping the 1st ranked team win the show.

As for if I like the rule... I don't really care what the rules are as long as every team abides by them and has every advantage and disadvantage as I do.
Barry, you hit the nail right on the head. It might be better to have 2 decent teams as opposed to one really good team and one really bad. I personally don't like this style of alliance selection but it makes my head hurt. I guess that's the point.
