There's no guarantee of either of those things. A win today and there's a decent chance we're the #3 overall seed. A loss could drop us to #8. Also, there don't match up the 5-6-7-8 with the 4-3-2-1 as formally as they do with the top 4 anyway.

Not to mention that making us a #1 seed gives us an easier game in the first 3 rounds. I highly doubt we'd lose to a 4-seed in the Sweet 16, but we could plausibly fall to a good 3-seed like Maryland, Florida State, etc.
