   Thinking about this a little more:   the #5 seed will often (40%? ) be the   
   second best team by quality or results.    Sometimes they will be the best   
   team.  So, it's not crazy that they have a reasonable easy path.  That said,   
   having the easiest path to    
   the semis seems a touch too easy.
