Since "best" is a fairly subjective term, Imma go ahead and present my results for Michigan using a few different sets of criteria.
Commence the research!
First, here's the rankings based on FIRST in Michigan's own proprietary system:
- 1023
- 548
- 2137
- 33
- 68
Next, here they are by "score" just at the Michigan State Championship, as defined by FIM:
- 548
- 1023
- 573
- 27
- 1711
And by average qualification score at MSC:
- 1023
- 3641
- 548
- 70
- 33
And by cross-referencing all teams' qual averages from the World Championship against a list of Michigan teams that attended CMP:
- 85
- 1023
- 107
- 548
- 2137
And by doing the same for each team's playoff averages at CMP:
- 2137
- 548
- 33
- 85
- 1023
And finally, a ranking based on each team's highest playoff average across any of the events they attended (2nd picks excluded):
- 1023
- 548
- 2137
- 33
- 85
Do with this what you will.
...or don't.
Whatever.
