It's not a complete coincidence. Very many sets of random numbers are uniformly distributed on a logarithmic scale. See for example Benford's Law.

Fibonacci numbers are just a rounded version of phi^x. So the only coincidences are 1. that the number of teams is such that phi is a good base, and 2. that the rounding all happened to go the right way.
