No, you seem to be of the mentality that I'm just coming up with excuses to not rank CT #1
Well, you've been doing it for the last several weeks.
but Chrono Trigger is a mid-major equivalent. swirl even said that its RPI will plummet once conference play starts.
Chrono Trigger plays in a terrible conference, but that's because the conferences were randomly generated. If I actually put some thought into it and made the conferences myself, CT would certainly be in a "power" conference and would stand a great chance at winning it. CT playing in a bad conference isn't really something to hold against it because that isn't its own doing.
But Bowser played in the absolute worst conference last year (The only other character from his conference to make the tournament was Laharl, and that was as a 13 seed), and he won the whole thing, so CT may be hoping history repeats itself (although it plays in the 2nd worst conference this year, not the worst).
