In fact of the seven regionals I have attended, I can't of a time where the no.1 seeded alliance has taken home the championship (including the time we were on the no.1 seeded alliance).
We have been top seed at three regionals since I have been with Team 233 and have won all three times. There is always luck involved, both in being top seed and in winning a competition, but being top seed gives you a huge advantage over every other team in that you are able to pick one of your partners from the entire field. Occasionally they may decline, but not often.

The views I express here are mine, and mine alone, not those of my team, FIRST, or my previous teams.
