Point is 1AA isn't as bad as it was and equal to most sections but people still remember the teams from the stretch between 1993 and 2007 and use that as a basis for teams today. You could ask 100 people on this bored what has been the weakest section at state the last 5 years and I bet 1AA would be the far and away highest vote getter, though it's 5AA and it's not close.
