10. Why Is SmackDown Better Than Raw?

This question obviously hinges on a matter of opinion, but it's one most people would agree with (including myself). SmackDown has been at a consistently high level over the past month or two, while the quality of Raw has deviated wildly - but why is this?
I think a lot of it revolves around the smaller roster and shorter timeslot. Although a greater variety of superstars and more time in which to utilise them seems an advantage, SmackDown's limitations have forced it to really focus and deliver.
Up and down the blue brand's roster, superstars are being placed into (largely) logical, tightly-constructed storylines, and appear to have a slightly greater degree of creative freedom when it comes to mic work.
