I think Hawiian Cadder is saying he didn't see much of a chance of beating the eventual champions after alliance selection. We can talk about relative divisional strength all we want, but ultimately it doesn't mean that much until we see which robots from that division actually get together. (And the first seed in Newton in 2006 did a great job preventing powerhouse alliances)


No arguing with that last point though.
