Picking Teams in Elimination Rounds
I am watching the VCU Regional webcast and see the picking of teams for eliminations. I watch the teams pick teams from ranking #1-8. Then the team ranked 8th picks a second team. The picking then goes back wards from ranking #7-1.

My question is this. Does this system of picking actually give the higher ranked teams an advantage of picking better teams? Isn't that the whole concept of having rankings? I do not see how this system gives the higher ranked teams, but I could be wrong. Anyone with an explanation please post.
