Here is why I think that the level of difficulty in winning state in either is very hard, and for different reasons.
A: Quality of competition, Ability of average team to have great night.
B: Quantity of competition, Fact that if you have one off night, you don't go to state.
Reasons it is easier.
A: Not a lot of teams, Two good games get you to state.
B:Two or three players can win state for an entire team, Competition usually has a weak player at some spot.
