No, tournaments are not set up that certain teams win/advance, It's set up to not dilute the tournament. It's set up like all NCAA tournaments. If you are a lower ceded team (you are an underdog), you are given a chance to compete. Play well and you advance, if not you go home. That's how the best teams make it to the championship whether you are a top cede or a lower cede. The top teams are ceded because they have winning records!
Two things to remember: Anyone can be beat on any given day and Everyone loves and underdog!
