MemeofMemeJTG999999 Ballot for 2023 Week 9
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 22, 2023, 11:42 a.m.
Overall Rationale: I use a methodology similar to that used by the voter polls that bases teams based primarily on wins/losses, but with other factors such as how those teams looked in their wins and losses, head to head, roster depth, etc, in play.
