On average, 3.85 teams that make the playoffs one year didn’t make them the next. On top of that, there has never been a season where the 16 team field was the same as the previous season. There’s only been one season where a conference had the same 8 teams as the previous season (2012 East).
Do you think that this pattern is likely to hold? Are the teams from the 2024 playoffs more resilient than previous teams? Or do you think that we’ll see more turnover?
For reference, here are the 16 playoff teams from last season.
