I think they might have tried that in the early years of alliances, maybe the first one. I'm not sure, though, so I'd have to look it up. It's also been done at offseasons. It makes for a more interesting eliminations, but teams aren't going to be happy that they can't pick the powerhouse next door--and then you get teams throwing matches to avoid the top 8, which has been discussed elsewhere.
