maybe the team is ranked just outside the top eight (say tenth). and hoping to get into the top eight so that they may pick their own alliance.... for those of us who remember finger lakes last year, we all know that could backfire.

(610 was ranked 12th and declined a pick from a alliance caption. they ended up one spot out from being a alliance caption).
