The Tiers represent how many more yes's to no's that were given on the polls for the suggestion. Planet vs Gore had a lot of yes's, enough for it to be Tier 1.

Same reason as above, but instead the yes's and no's were closer in number, but there were just slightly more yes's for them to get one.

Scraw, the guy who ran the blog for the voting as to what suggestions would get on the page, wanted suggestions he liked on the page, so he added suggestions like Swanson vs Roosevelt, Nixon vs Benedict, and Pavlov vs Shrodinger to the polls without much general consensus, and happened to get enough yes's to be added on.

That's part of what I like about Pavlov vs Shrodinger, that it represents a typical dumb suggestion but adds more to it and would make for an actually really good battle.
