I haven't had a chance to see how this compares to data from years past, but it seems that in 2010 more than ever the high seeds are winning (for example, team 341 has won 4 regionals in the past 4 seasons, and only once - this year - were we the #1 alliance).

I noticed this. Even at a regional with 29 teams (WPI), the #1 seed faced the #2 in the finals. I thought that was really weird.
