Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 27, 2021, 3:38 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I try to do this solely on resume, but it's tough this early in the season, so I've got a lot of weird stuff. I completely skipped all 2 loss teams because at this point if you're 2-2 or 3-2 that's just not a good enough record to be close.
