lack of strong uppermid houses

I'm noticing that there's a big drop from top houses and upper-mid houses now.

Lambda Chi, ZBT, & Fiji had UpperMid locked down just a year ago.
Now that Lambda and ZBT are screwed, and Fiji supposedly took a less than stellar pledge class, it seems like there's no clear uppermid house anymore.

Houses that are in the running seem to be Fiji, Chi Psi, Llenroc, and apparently Pike?
Despite "Llenroc rising" and recent rankings that boosted Pike, I feel Chi Psi & Fiji are the clear leaders, and will continue to lead in the coming years due to their physical houses (Honestly don't think Llenroc is rising, and Pike's half-decent pledge class isn't boosting them straight from lower-mid to top of upper-mid).
