The record of 1 seeds vs. lower seeds in the semifinal and final games since 1981 (when it went to 8 teams) is 33-32. In the NCAA basketball tournament, by contrast, the record of 1 seeds vs. lower seeds since 1985 (when it went to 64 teams) is 34-15. That suggests a higher degree of parity and/or randomness to me.
