Let me know what you guys think.

I think it'd be pretty sweet if we ended up with 103! (Of course, it'd also be pretty sweet to move past the finals, but we have a long way to go before that!)

One thing to be said about divisions that are stacked--be wary of having a mid-level bot seed high and break up the super alliances. I remember back in 2006 we were in Newton with a ton of powerhouses, but none of the predicted favorites seeded first (mainly due to beating up on each other during the qualifications) and those super alliances were all broken up. With seeding no longer relying on just win-loss records and other offensive measures, but also on the performance of the other alliance, seeding can get a bit crazy.
