Fair enough. While 1208 did seed higher in their division at champs (15th) than 2949 (41st), 2949 was selected for elimination round play and 1208 wasn't. That is enough evidence to make the improvement since week 1 argument plausible. Not enough evidence to throw-out the week 1 data, but enough to bring it into question.
Neither 1208 nor 1625 qualified for champs (1208 purchased a slot during open registration). 1625 lost every elimination round they played, while 1208 reached the finals in both of their regionals. The idea that 1625 faced superior competition needs some data to back it up. I'm interested in how you would justify either Midwest or Lake Superior being more difficult than KC this year? Even if an argument could be made, losing to better competition doesn't necessarily make you better than someone who won every quarterfinal and semifinal match they played in.
It's pretty cool when a state has so many good teams it makes it difficult to rank the top 3. I hadn't even considered 2481.
