I agree with Sean here. The number of matches does play a part in how well these teams perform. But even in the early district events, Michigan teams (not just the top dogs we all talk about) were putting up numbers and performing well enough to be top contenders at any other regional. There are "lower end" robots in Michigan who could easily take down alliances from other regionals or put up significant fights.
