Re: Unusual number of teams declining
I think a large reason we don't see as many declines this year is because of the seeding system.

Many rookie teams end up in the top 8, leaving a large majority of the veteran teams with more experience in the bottom, meaning they can't decline. (Well, they could, but then they can't play at all)
