That may be true in some instances but not all are equal. Let's be honest not everyone is a good player. Whether it's 8 or 20. When you add more difficult scenarios to the playing field it should be a matter of wiping or not. And I agree each individual "CAN' make a significant difference but doesn't necessarily mean they will. Hence the picking of the "Elite 8".
