Also note the 2013 peachtree regional had some good 1st and second picks for lower seeded alliances that went on to beat the higher seeds.

NE Champs #1 (1519) chose #2 (195). In my book, 195 WAS the better team. They were more consistent in the matches, but luck of the algorithm teamed them with teams that didn't pull their own. I stand by what I saw & think 195 could possibly go all the way. You do need 1 team that pulls from behind the drivers' station & 1 from the landfill. The 3rd can either top them off or be the one that is a great can-burgler.
