Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 19, 2018, 9:39 p.m.

Overall Rationale: These rankings are pretty much me projecting, based on what I know now, how good I expect teams to be. Subject to change quite a bit in the first few weeks as I learn more about the ability of various teams to replace lost talent or fill gaps left by injuries.
