The talent depth in the divisions is not there.
I really disagree. The 24th best robot in a division is far better than the 24th best robot at a regional, and somehow we all manage to make 24 team pick lists at regionals. For example, this year's 24th selections were 217, 862, 4039, and 2959. Yes, it is much harder to make a good pick list this far down the draft list, but it's by no means impossible.

Also consider the teams that missed CMP eliminations this year. 4265, 4124, 230, 2145, 399, 125, 2648, 2485, 842, 180, 79, 191, 503, 2439. Almost all of these teams outright won regionals. Surely there's room in the backup round for them.
