Yes, he was using the Max OPR and they have the 5th highest OPR out of all the teams at different regionals. That is a fact. However some people argue about some regionals being stronger than others. I don't know how strong Alamo is and I do not want people to get into a debate. 624 is a great team. Their world OPR ranking is 21.
The reason Ether was questioning is because when we compare teams across different regionals/district, we use World OPR and takes all interactions of teams into account. However it ranks team higher if they have been consistently good at different events than teams that did relatively not as well in their early events and improve a lot in later events. Both ways are valid in considering how good a team is.
My suggestion for 624 is to push for a district model in Texas. In the district model, you don't need to win an event to qualify. You just need to be consistently good. In fact it is possible for the 2nd round pick winning alliance team to not make it to State Championship or World Championship in the district model if they were just lucky in one event and do poorly in the other.
