Are you saying it's freakish to have this level of matchup in round 1?

I was playing around with the math for the Canada tournament where two division I teams are meeting (chance of that: 11.2%)... easy to adapt to the USA...

There's a 39.2% chance that there will at least one II v II matchup in the first round of the US tournament. (I v I: 2.9%).

not freakish, just clearly the unluckiest match in the country. each week if i can ill try to spot the lousy matchup, and the loser can get sympathy in this thread from people who care (not me mind you, unless its my team that gets a shitty draw).

How are the opponents chosen for the cup on this game? Is it random?

Totally random—no seeding of any kind.
