Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 17, 2024, 9:56 a.m.

Overall Rationale: My computer ranking is completely broken this early, so I doing this by my own judgement. I am only looking at W-L results for the current season. Beating a good team (by record) will give a higher weight in the ranking than beating a worse team. Similarly, losing to a worse team will punish more than losing to a better team.
