Yup - should be a much more even playing field this year.
Last year, the bottom 4 teams AVERAGED 60 points. The bottom 5 averaged 62.2. Those are the lowest totals since 2001. By quite a bit.
By comparison, in 2010 and again in 2012, the 29th place team had 74 points.
If next year is more typical again - with the bottom 5 averaging about 72 points (the average of the prior few years), that's 50 more points, and those 50 points come at the expense of the other 25 teams (though there can be some extra poser points scattered around).
