No, Trebor is one of the best duelist the Order has to offer. What does Bandon have to compete?
Bandon have killed lot of Jedi and was among the prominent individuals of a Sith Empire he served. Does this counts?

Analogy:-
Count Dooku lifted some obelisks with his TK powers once.Darth Bandon killed a couple of Jedi once. Lets assume thatDookuBandon is character (X) and hisobelisk(s) lifting featJedi killing feat is action (Y).Now since character (X) performed action (Y), should we assume that character (X) is superior to
Sith EmperorColeman Trebor? We haven't seenSith EmperorColeman Trebor performing this kind of feat but do you think he cannot?

No, he does, since he's among the best of his Order. Saying that he can't beat unknown, unaccomplished Jedi is the exact same claim as saying that Vitiate can't levitate a lot of heavy stones because he's not shown himself to, the latter of which you object to.
Being on the Jedi Council doesn't atomatically implies bad@ssry. Jedi do not make it to the Council for the same reasons that Sith do.
Jedi Council members aren't necessarily the strongest and finest warriors of the Order. Yes, powerful Jedi do make it to the Council but this promotion is not dependent upon their power but exemplary conduct on the whole.
You insult the likes of Count Dooku and Sith Emperor by using their analogy in this contest. It is REALISTICALLY expected of Sith Emperor to levitate/lift even heavier objects then Dooku can, this is his CANON situation.
Trebor is something else in comparison. He isn't noted for his superb warrior skills, combat record, power in the Force and vice versa. He was just an exemplary Jedi in other ways.
In contrast, Bandon is noted for his combat abilities, prominence, strength in the Force, impressive combat history - all of the necessary ingredients that define his respective position in the mythos accordingly.

The Clone Wars Encyclopedia claims otherwise.
The latest canonical understanding of this matter is different however. Star Wars: The Old Republic: Encyclopedia also covers these matters, in detailed fashion and accurately.
The strongest of the Jedi do not necessarily become Council members. Keep this in mind.
