MemeofMemeJTG999999 Ballot for 2024 Week 2
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 2, 2024, 10:43 p.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.
