Disrupting Alliances

This is a hypothetical situation that I thought of while considering Joe Ross's simulations of the divisions:

We all know that the luck of the schedule plays into where teams seed in the rankings. In most of the schedules that Joe runs, the best team(s) come out on top. But in a few rare cases, a worse one does, simply due to luck. So let's say that a decidedly middle tier team becomes first seed, purely due to the luck of the schedule. In all likelihood, there will be a couple of selections within the top 8. They know that most if not all the other top 8 teams will reject their alliance request. Is it then acceptable for this team to attempt to choose every top 8 robot forcing them to deny and thus become unpickable? Is it considered part of the game in the name of big picture strategy and it giving them a competitive advantage? Or would doing so be considered rude and frowned upon by the community?

Again, not a real or probable situation, just wondering what peoples thoughts are.
