Don't take records as seriously this year as you have in previous years. Since winning matches this year requires your whole alliance to be good, teams are getting screwed out of matches that in previous years they may have been able to win by themselves. There's such a value to teamwork this year that having bad teammates can make your record a lot worse than you really are. Not saying this is definitely what happened to 973, but it's a pretty good assumption I think.
