In the end, you will have to beat at least two good teams to win the region, nobody should get a free ride, including the #1 seed. Seeding for a single team to advance is not as important as some make it out to be. If two teams were to advance, it would be more important so as not to have the two best teams meet in the semis. But with this group, there are at least two very good teams in each half of the bracket, and another in each side capable of pulling off a major upset.
