In actual practice, lower seeds do often win. Our team has a very good record in 2006 and 2004, beating higher seeded alliances in elimination matches.
The reverse order of picking the all important third robot has made a difference this year. I think that the alliance that makes the best third pick has an advantage, because an alliance with three good robots can beat an alliance of two great robots and a so-so robot. It is very hard to defend against three robots that can score. The eighth seeded alliance gets to pick their third robot first, so make sure you have done your scouting
