Powerhouse = have been consistently good for several years, enough that people through FIRST have heard of them. I know the names of 9 of the 10 "Powerhouse" teams.
Regional Power house = have been successful in their home town consistently but never truly shown on the world stage
Unusually good = are very competitive this year but haven't shown consistence
Anyway the titles are subjective. I would have titled some of those teams differently, any team with a high OPR and that I have never heard of would be Unusually Good. Also placing teams 11, 125, and 1323 into the regional powerhouse category.
Completely unrelated note, I am really glad 4522 made it to champs. Saw them go out in the finals in Arkansas due to fouls (thankfully that rule got changed after week 1). Any team capable of giving The Bomb Squad a run for their money this year deserves to go to St. Louis.
