(I don't know which ones are.)
Another of the reasons that these teams might be better is that there is usually more businesses in these areas, which means more engineers to help the students. Also having Alumni that have were on the team 2-3 years helps, because there knowledge of how to play the games.
This years Boilermaker was competitive in the elimination rounds, but on Friday morning it didn't always look that way, until 135 came out to play.  Even though there are more teams in the Midwest and West Coast, everyone has an equal chance of going to nationals and wining.
