Just saying it's not an exact science

If 4th is not a prize - a group of teams between, say, 3rd and 6th could take their foot off the gas as the season draws to a close.

Better comparison might be champions in similar period of time either side of advent of Premier League?

1970-1992: 7
1993-2015: 5 and probably a 6th this year.

Not much in it really?
