Fair enough, how does balancing divisions help improve the championship experience? Is there a viable way to have elite teams play with elite teams? Doesn't that happen already?

Chris brings up a decent point. I can definitely seeing that have an impact on some teams. I wonder how much of that is a hard or easy division and more just people making strange picks during alliance selection? And even if we balance it. Who is to say we will do much better at creating a more balanced division? Perhaps slightly. Robots change. Things happen.
