Their failure in the playoffs was no fault of theirs - they were unlucky enough to have a tube sucked into their drivetrain and lock them up.

In any numerical system, like OPR, the frequency of competition doesn't matter.

In public opinion (popularity), which is largely what the frc top 25 is, teams that have played more recently or have a reputation will be near the top.

Qualitative vs Quantitative.
The difference in 67 he's talking about are the electrical issues they had at Kettering vs a almost prefect West Michigan... 67 was a number 1 threat at Kettering and were a scoring machine until they ran into 5 straight failures on Saturday...
