For future reference, frclinks.com is an awesome tool. frclinks.com/tba/67/2009 will pull the above.

Personally I liked when they won both World Champs AND The Chairman's Award in 2005.

Thanks for the shoutout. While I can't speak for 558 (but I'm sure the same holds true) 125 has been an amazing role model for teams in the Northeast. Aside from always being ready to help teams and host events they have made the finals at 10 of the last 11 regionals/districts they have attended! A record like that is for the elite teams! It also looks like they hold the record for the most banners before District Champs or Champs only matched by the dominate 1114 Overdrive performance.

Congratulations 125 you guys earned it! But I still think you are crazy!

[Robotmmm]

I would think that 125 at least has the most Blue Banners in 3 weeks record! That is crazy stuff, they must be exhausted!

Congrats to a fantastic team, so well deserved!

1983 pulled this feat last year, winning 4 banners at 3 consecutive regionals. It's an incredible feat, congrats to 125, hope to see you guys at Champs!

[Coach Norm]

118 has three blue banners each this year as well.

Alamo Winners
GKC Winners
Lone Star Winners

Congratulation 125! How was pine tree with out 2386?

How is a team with 4 blue banners (3 competition related) not ranked in the Top25?

Congrats on a great season so far. Good luck this weekend!

Popularity contest, i.e. household name as part of the metrics?
Timing of wins?
Unlike real top 25 rankings in sports, there are teams that drop heavily just by not competing the following week. Or move high up after just 1 win out the entire 6 weeks.

Maybe other metrics need to be considered instead of just voting? Voting would work better if everyone was required to submit their votes.

I'm curious why you switched your drive team the week before district champs. Was it a "spread the wealth" ideology or was it some other reason? Also was the decision made ahead of time or not?

Good luck at District Champs and hopefully Championship as well!
