"slightly biased"
I don't mean to sound un-grateful about our rank, but I did get a jolly good laugh out of that. Top 25 is for fun, I don't take too seriously, you shouldn't either.

I had a similar response when I saw 1678 at number 15, though I was hardly surprised. 1678 is very good and still under the radar. It probably won't last for long. I want to back up 1678 here: the Citrus Citrus are certainly one of the top teams in the world, as they have proved by winning very tough matches. Their only losses have come when the odds have been stacked largely against their favor. What they did at 3 regionals is beyond impressive. It's phenomenal. I haven't seen them play, I'm sure SPAM is excellent as well, and deserving of a spot in someone's top 25 ranking.
Which brings up an interesting topic:
I think that there will be many teams like these two to make an impact on Championship. The danger of making rankings and predictions is that some good teams get left out, fly under the radar, and then people are surprised when they are so good. The thing is, they didn't just come out of the woodwork. They've been there for a long time, but just haven't been noticed yet.
