Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Oct. 30, 2017, 9:23 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This week the formula pretty much broke due to the previous clear frontrunners loosing and other shenanigans, causing several otherwise defined tiers to break down and merge together. Other rules still apply (see Alabama). These groups are listed as "chaos A/B/C" Tier. As a result the ranking is a lot more subjective than usual. The issue should be resolved by next week assuming nothing happens to the current front runners.
