That's the entire point of this poll. To show that any poll on CD is inherently biased because the best and large teams are disproportionately represented.

Just about every poll has at least 3 votes from 254. We'd need 9,000 responses to get that to even out the voices of all FRC teams. Based on Caleb's original post we should expect to see 54.5% of teams not making elims last year. As I'm writing this post there are over 200 responses and only 20.0% did not make playoffs. It's not a surprise that CD is biased, but it's cool to have this poll to refer back to years down the road when everyone get's bent out of shape from the responses of a different poll.
