Very interesting that they aren't re-seeding the playoffs after each round. Going true March Madness style, where a busted bracket might make things easier for lower seeded teams.
For example, the #1 overall seed gets a first round bye, then plays the winner of 8 vs. 9, while the #4 overall seed also gets a first round bye, then plays the winner of 5 vs. 12. If #12 upsets #5, then the 4 seed gets to play an "easier" game in the next round than the #1 seed
