there isn't too much of an advantage to getting the bye other than the extra day of rest
What other kind of advantage were you expecting?
It really isn't that confusing, and there is no point in being pissed about the high seed winners from day 1 getting a bye on day 2. There are 5 teams in each bracket so someone has to have a bye the second day also, and you can't give the top seed a bye two days in a row.
Some of the other alternatives are pool play and having just one single bracket double elmination tournament. Both of those formats are worse for various reasons.

Kentucky is essentially getting a bye in the first round then a bye in the second round.
The fact that the #4 team has an easier route to the #1 team than vice versa is a bit baffling.
The only way the top two seeds get a good draw is if the 3 and 4 seeds lose.
