I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say the top seeds don't have 'the power they once had.' What power did they have last year? The right to play the worst seeded teams on Saturday theoretically increasing their chance to win and move on. This year the top seeded teams are GUARANTEED a spot in the elimination rounds.

Not only that, the top seeded teams that make the cut have all the rest of the teams to chose from and convince to be their partner. Teams that don't make the cut have only the top seeded teams to market themselves to.

I think most people would agree that they would rather be a top seeded team with an automatic spot in the quarter finals than a team that must depend on being picked. Yes, these top seeded teams must market themselves to attract the better teams, but teams that didn't make the cut must also do some aggressive marketing, and without the comfort of knowing that they've made it to the eliminations.
