The "weaker" divisions with a couple dominant teams usually have a better chance on Einstein.
With that said, I think there are just too many darn good teams in Galileo that two great teams will be paired together and the second round selection will be out of this world!
I also think defense will play a more prominent role and separate the contenders from the pretenders. I will also predict that there will be at least one 2 regional winner that is not going to be in the Galileo Finals, maybe more because that is how stacked this division is.
I, personally, am very excited for this year's Championship and can't wait to see everyone starting next Wednesday.

I agree on all counts. With a division this deep, scouting and second round picking could be what really separates the the eventual winning alliance from the rest, as there are certainly enough capble teams to fill all alliances. We hope to bring some quality defense to his division, and can't wait to see what everyone else have hidden up their sleeves for this one. This is going to be epic.
