Voting is done entirely by the community, not Mike and Justin.

Mike and Justin have said plenty of times the rankings are based on who votes and regional bias will happen based on who votes. It seems to me that more people vote who live in Canada or watch more Canadian events as evidenced by the fact that 8 of the 25 teams are Canadians. All of these Canadian teams (and more) are amazing this year and can hold their own but unless more teams from your area vote the more other biases will be present.

In the past I know New England hasn't been well represented but I am so excited to see 125 finish out an amazing season as a member of the Top 25 club! I wish we could have seen 195 & 177 up there as well!

All in all, there are just too many good teams to justify who makes the Top 25 and who doesn't.
