As the number of events each week gets higher and higher, it becomes increasingly impossible to keep track of how teams across the world are performing. When FRC Top 25 started, I think the most events we would see in a single week was on the scale of 10-12. Now between week 0.5 and week 1, we had 18 events. In weeks 2 and 5 there are 24 events each. There's just no feasible way for each person to keep track of all of the teams across all competitions and assign rankings anymore.
I think there may exist a better solution by which voters list what competitions they followed and rank ONLY teams from those events 1-25. Then use some comparative analysis based on relative rankings of teams in different lists to sort it all out. Unfortunately, this has the downside of being somewhat complicated. But it would be a way to combat information bias.
And I think a lot of people probably end up using OPR as a band-aid, which while it may trend with performance, is a fairly poor indicator this year due to mutual exclusivity of points on an alliance for crossing defenses.
