I apologize for the rant but I have heard them called "fake" too many times to put up with that misconception any longer.
MSC may be the most balanced regional. I would place Midwest as the hardest, first week regionals are always tough but anyone that had that many former Champions at it is bound to be scary.

I wouldn't say it isn't a regional, but I wouldn't really consider it for this discussion. Since you have to qualify to get in, its clearly going to be a 'stacked' event (unless Michigan teams are generally bad, which we all know is most definitely not the case). It's sort of like arguing whether a championship division is harder to win than a regional. Clearly it is because the average team is of a higher calibre, so it isn't a very interesting discussion.
