Ahem, getting back on topic:

I don't think it's a valid strategy, because part of your reasoning is flawed: Just because you're 8th seed does not exclude the 1/2/3 seeds from picking you - right? So, then what does it matter whether you're 8th or 13th?

All the other things said aside, there's a logical flaw in the premise.
