That seems to maintain the competitiveness while simultaneously including more teams.

FIRST has already made it clear that teams will be assigned based on geography:

Based on geographic location, teams from all four programs will be assigned to attend one of the events.
Each Championship will serve a still-to-be-defined geographic region in an effort to minimize travel distance and travel cost, while balancing team attendance at both events.

This is probably preferable over sending the 3rd picks from Michigan to the Houston Champtionship.
