Game results at this point can have unintended consequences. Losses for one team could be favorable for another. It could push another team up or down into a matchup which is unfavorable for us. If there were only a handful of teams we were competing with, it would make sense, but there are virtually dozens. You can't just look at one seed line. Every game has an effect on most of the seeds in the tournament.
