With Coopertition Points re-arranging the ranking so much this year, there is an even greater chance that the "best" teams are not ranked as highly as they might be. They get more evenly distributed and only one alliance gets the win.
The district model seems to help this situation, but most of us are not in districts yet.

I dont know about that considering that some of the ones people are complaining about are from the District system.
