The scheduling algorithm will be a huge factor here. Last year, the teams were heavily clumped by team number, Only three time did we see a team with a number less than 1,000. Since the power teams this year all seem to be low numbered teams, they might be knocking each other off, while the higher number teams work on each other. A good high numbered team might end up as the #1 seed simply because the low numbered teams beat each other up.
