If 1114 ends up at #1 then that means they would have beaten 254 in their match against each other. Causing 254 will have at least 2 losses, putting them low in the rankings. If 1114 picked 254, then that would give 330 (high in the rankings... maybe even #2 seed) the opportunity to pick another strong team (217, 25, 494) which would also make a strong alliance.

If 1114 picks 330, however, than the 2nd alliance would probably be captained by a weaker team, leaving them to break up the other powerhouses, leading to an almost sure win for 1114/330.

In other words, they would be better off picking the higher seeded team (even if people believe that 254 is better than 330... which, in itself, I think I would have to disagree with)
