More voters would imply more voters from across the country. Maybe the reason why 1983 wasn't in the top 25 was because there's not too many voters in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe why Southeastern US teams didn't get many votes was because of the same reason. People tend to vote based on the teams they've seen. Maybe a Northeatern voter hasn't watched must westcoast events. Maybe our voters are Michigan/MAR heavy. Who knows.
I know I'm not making much sense, but the logic is there. The more voters the better.
