Cup is not lottery at all.
So if a team who makes a great cup run against weaker teams but he loses in the league, then he can't be ranked higher than someone, who is leading his league (for excample)..
Not true.
3 teams from div III were in the best 16 teams of Spain(last season).
1 finished in 5th position( good because he doesn't pay salaries)
The other promoted to div II
The last one finished in 2n position in his league.
(You can find more data, but most of the times that some Div III arrived to late stages of the cup normally they ended playing the play-off)
And as Crazyeye said, div1 teams get lot of points when they win matchs on their league.
