It'd also be awesome to implement a pure statistical top25 w/ FIM style points that are standardized to cover different # of matches played.
If a public, coach, and statistical ranking were done, a combined ranking of the three could also be done.

In CFB they just take the ranking from the three systems and average it then use that as your rank.
With the coaches poll in CFB they try to get a wide sampling of coaches from different parts of the country, different skill levels, different play styles etc to get a good sample. This is probably best for FRC too because a lot of coaches don't have enough time to watch every team in every region, but they will tend to chart their own region well and you'll get a relative comparison with more well known teams
The data portion seems pretty easy to do with the provided twitter data and someone entering awards.
