So what you are saying is the world cup or March Madness or whatever in Basketball should reseed every step in order to keep the higher seeds going? Should the Giants replay the superbowl win over the Patriots because the Patriots were clearly better?
What you are also saying is that a team that is "known" to be "better" but faltered during the season should be seeded higher at the start?
it is a known fact at the beginning of the season that is 1 vs 8, 4 vs5 on one side and 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 on the other.
you bring your game every time, you lose you go home. There is nothing "fair" about it...
