I disagree with this statement.
Curie has: 67 (two time defending world champion and 2011 MSC Champion), 2056 (Still undefeated record at regionals and part of current 2011 high score record holder of 150 - just filthy good), 71 (Beatty, enough said), 987 (maybe a little bias here, but we did win a WC at this similar game in 2007 and two Regionals this year), 365, 245, 573, 51, 968 and 1717 (southern CA powerhouses), ...on and on.
The teams in Curie this year have a combined 11 world championships (back to 1992), Galileo has 8, Archimedes has 7, and Newton has 6.
(Since 2001: Curie 8WC, Galileo 7WC, Arch 7WC, Newton 4WC)
Appearances on Einstien since 2001: Curie 23, Galileo 23, Newton 22, Arch 17.
Underestimated, yes. Weak, no.
I have a feeling that some of the lesser known (nationally) teams will have an impact this year, too, such as 1983, 2363, 1986, and 1678.

Curie: 71 (2004, 2002, 2001, 1997), 67 (2010, 2009, 2005), 987 (2007), 365 (2001), 176 (1999), and 126 (1992)
Galileo: 111 (2009, 2003), 294 (2010, 2001), 1114 (2008), 469 (2003), 173 (2002), and 48 (1999)
Arch: 177 (2010, 2007), 190 (2007), 330 (2005), 503 (2005), 435 (2004), 45 (1998)
Newton: 148 (2008, 1993), 217 (2008, 2006), 25 (2000), 494 (2004)
