Largest Increase in Place

The final award that originated in 1985 is Largest Increase in Place.  The astute reader of this blog would say "Hold on a minute!  Didn't you just cover this yesterday?" 

Yesterday we looked at Largest Increase in Points.  Today is Largest Increase in Place.  Most people would think that if you had the largest increase in points you would have the largest increase in standings.  Not so.  In fact if you compare the list below with the list from yesterday - don't worry, I saved you the time - you will see that the awards have been handed out 28 times.  Only 15 times, or 53.5% of the time has the same team won both awards.

I will let you draw your own conclusions as to why that's the case.  Here is the list of past winners:
