I wouldnt put much into that prediction though, as i have simply been skimming the division lists

I'm very curious to see what alliance will come out of this division, with its very solid middle tier. We have some multiple event winners here such as 16, 25, 48, and 148, but only one of those has won every event they went to. Good job Bomb Squad! But we have to worry about the great teams like 67, 341, 469, 987, 1114, 1717, and 2056 who will be across the field from us on Einstein, and who really seemed to mop up the events they attended.
Bomb Squad looks like a favorite in this division; perhaps they'll team up with the Robowranglers like they did at two of their regionals
or maybe they'll team up with the 25, the first pick and champion of MAR. But there is just such a strong middle tier, including a ton of Michigan teams that qualified from the State Championship, that the eventual winners of this division are very hard to predict. With 100 teams per division, there will certainly be amazing machines that do not make eliminations. And we have by far the most teams that have triple balanced in the past - I really think this division is going to be a Loch Ness fest in elims. Good luck to all teams, and I can't wait to see how this division unfolds!!
