I don't think it has anything to do with "faith" in regions of FIRST. When we (or at least I) look at the regionals and guess (that's all we're doing here is guessing) which regional will be strongest/toughest/most competitive/highest scoring/etc. we are merely looking at lists of teams and applying past observations to future events.

Even if every CD user thought that Midwest was going to be the best regional ever because 111, 1114, and 71 are going to get on the same alliance and zip around the field scoring 300 pts. it doesn't really make it any more likely to happen. We have to always remember that many things that happen here on CD are for fun. When these threads pop up about what regional will be this or that or when we draft teams for FantasyFIRST we have to remember that FIRST is even less about these threads than it is about the robots. Instead of looking at these threads and being angry/disappointed/frustrated about why your regional or team is not the highest on the list we should look at the teams that are the highest on the list and try to figure out why they are there and how we can better our own teams and regions so we can try and reach that same level.

If you want to have a debate about which regional is really the best, first you have to get some data about which regional had the most learning, which regional had the most inspiration, and which regional had the most fun. When you find an objective way to determine that, then I might believe that what we are talking about here really matters, until then these threads are all for fun and anyone that doesn't see that needs to relax.
