Okay, lets break this down logically. If Boyle and Corbin both have the seasons they expect, they'll most likely be ranked numbers one and two respectively. Lets look at the games if Corbin was ranked one and Boyle was ranked two.

Boyle goes from playing at the number 1 to playing the number three team at home. While Corbin goes from playing the number two team at home to playing the number four team at home.

If Boyle is 1 and Corbin is 2 then Boyle goes from playing at the number two team to playing the number four team at home while Corbin goes from playing the number one team at home to playing the number three team at home. In either situation I think both Corbin and Boyle benefit, but Boyle benefits more.

I completely understand, you seem to think that Corbin would come out of the semi if they played Boyle. That is why Corbin benefits more, if the had to play Boyle they would not make the title game. I see making it more of a benefit. So Corbin would be helped more if that happened. I see Corbin ranked 4th and that may not help. Either way , we will see. Make no mistake if Boyle is 1 and Corbin 2 or 3 it is a blessing for Corbin.
