If you were one of the two teams facing an amazing team like 47, your first goal was to stop 47 and secondly to score. Since the top teams were constantly double teamed, none of the top teams made it very far.

Dean mentioned this as one of the reasons for going to alliances. If some teams were going to ally to beat others, he wanted all the teams to ally.

Edit: Andy beat me to it.
