Look folks, this playoff system operates like a corporation.

You start with eight or ten candidates after dismissing many and start eliminating those selected candidates one by one or perhaps in pairs with similar resumes. Some may disagree with the process but it's usually those who don't qualify for the job or falsified their resume.
That military does it the same way. If you're over a particular weight for your height you're out. It doesn't matter if you run an 8 min miles because you don't get to the track and prove your worth.
It's called life. Corporations and the military lay out the required credentials for being included in their search for talent and start the culling process at the bottom.
I think the POC starts with 8 or 10 teams for consideration and compares them in smaller groups. The four who remain when the culling process is over are the four seeds. That's how it is, that's how it would be if they expand to 8, 16, 32...128.
