Tier 2:
330, 968, 987, 233, 71 (with rollers), 1124, 16

Tier 3:
175, 254, 2056, 111, 118, 980, 121, 1024, 1625, 33

Forgive me if I am forgetting anyone. These are just the teams that stick out in my mind. Also forgive me for the northeast bias. These teams pop into my head much faster.
I think you've got to include 1717 in Tier 2 or better.

We're flattered by the Tier 3 ranking, but we are definitely a role-player (defense, herder, etc.) for an alliance with two good hurdlers. Maybe that's a formula that will work in Atlanta, but we're really not in the same echelon as 33, 111, 118, 254, 1024, 1625, ...
