I assumed that the per-free agency teams probably built their teams up with more stars, and those guys stayed on the teams (and were able to retain their voting popularity). I also figured that the pre-2002ish teams, when the top seeds were most likely making the Super Bowl meant the teams with the most good players was winning.

Also, fewer teams in 1971, so the odds are just higher that they would have more Pro Bowl players.
