i could think of an explanation, but i'm not sure i can explain properly:
the points in today's ranking are only from the past 4 seasons. there are 0 points for this season, plus the points from the past 4 seasons.
the ranking that decided the allotment of teams was the one from yesterday, the ranking that had the points from the past 5 seasons, not including this season.
i hope i made myself understood and i hope that's the explanation.
