The red alliance won only three times at Chesapeake- the first seed won its first pairing, then lost to the fifth seed, the 7th seed beat the 6th seed, (7th was red because it was the survivor of the 2v7 match, while 6th won the 3v6 match), and the fifth seed finally won overall.

To phrase that in a slightly more readable manner, the blue alliance won slightly more than half the games, and I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it was because of the new seeding system. Several teams on the top 4 seeded alliances had significantly higher standings because of CP, and were actually weaker than many others in terms of strength.
From TBA, it looks like the red alliance won/advanced 4 times.
Also, I would say that in some events it was the case that the blue alliances won (Chesapeake, Oregon, WPI) but for other events it seems like the top seeds are winning as normal. Kettering, Hatboro-Horsham, Chestnut Hill, and especially Waterford (All red alliances won/advanced) are examples of this.
