Yes but then you would be taking away from the qualifcation matches because if you know the number one seed will pick you if your not in the top 8 then all you would have to do to make sure you are picked by them is get out of the top 8.

My opinion on making the top 8 pick outside the top 8 will just make the qualifing rounds useless because if a team wants to be with another team bad enough they will just lose. And then were is the fun and enthusiasm in that for the kids and for the people watching?
