That would be dumb because Kennedy is close to locked into the 2 or 3 seed at B10s, i.e. opposite side away from Levi. Which is the only seeding aspect that matters. (He'll be favored to win out with Minto, Kharchla, and Mantanona left, and has already beaten Kharchla once this year.)
Let's say Kennedy lost to Levi in the dual. Only 2 ways they're on the same side at B10s: (1) Minto gets the 1 by beating both of them; (2) Kennedy loses 2 more time in conference and slips to the 4.
If Kennedy beat Levi in the dual (play along here!), he's the 1 seed unless the same 2 scenarios above play out.
So what seed would Brands be protecting?
