Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 31, 2020, 11:11 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Hello! This is my first ever poll. While difficult to make with how this season is turning out, I tried to rank each team objectively in a "would beat the team below" approach. As the season moves on and teams that aren't playing are removed, this will get a bit easier and more streamlined. Thanks for inviting me to the poll!
