[D] CVPR results shock due to impressive score drop since reviews

CVPR decisions came out and I’m shocked. I got previously a 6(5)/4(4)/2(4). The first reviewer was enthusiastic, the second had concerns and the third heavier concerns. ONE of the concerns of the third is that I didn’t upload the results to an online benchmark in my field, I made the petition to the platform and I informed about this being done in the rebuttal.

They lowered to 4/2/2. The first said that yes he liked the method but the online submission should have been done. The second said he was not convinced on the response (although I addressed carefully his concerns!). And the third stayed. In my head I can’t process that two of them, who liked the method, lowered! (I was expecting reviewer 2 to raise the score, maybe that wouldn’t happen but lowering it??). The AC mentioned the benchmark issue, may he have influenced the rest of reviewers? Do you find it plausible?

Edit: Context: the benchmark matter was only mentioned by the third…
