Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Nov. 29, 2016, 1:31 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I know it seems like I can never find a consistent system this year, but this is a pure power poll. It's literally just "if so and so matchups were played today, who would win." There's a resume component but I used a few computer rankings and my own opinion for most of it.
