Are you arguing that an 80 team regional that has one Divisional Champion &/or Finalists harder than a 40 team regional that has one Divisional Champ &/or Finalist?
Again, this is a create your own metric thread, but if anything I would argue the othe way: A regional seems harder to me if they have a higher percentage of Divisional Champs & /or Finalist.
So I would argue for the Metric that Dave Verbrugge used at Western Michigan: Pound for Pound = Use percentage of teams that meet the standard at a regional.
I am not sure how big Sacramento, but Detroit was pretty small. I think that Detroit might have a case for the strongest regional on a pound for pound basis.
