Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 17, 2016, 6:46 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Resume Based rankings - Losses hurt more than anything else, MOV largely ignored.  "Quality losses" hurt significantly less than losses to bad teams.  Big wins are worth a lot more than wins over close teams.  Very clear break between 14 and 15 based on resumes - all undefeated P5, G5, and 1 loss P5 in top 14 (tier 1), 2 loss P5 and 1 loss G5 15-25 (tier 2, continues down to 43 in my rankings)
