Team A is the "best" robot in the division.
Team B is the 2nd best robot in the division.
Team C is the 3rd best robot in the division.
If team B is the 2nd best team in the division, why would they be ranked 30? I know the ranking system isn't perfect, but I would imagine that it is at least close. Unless Team B has been purposefully losing all their qualifying rounds in order to be picked by the top seed alliance, I can't imagine how this would happen.
