Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 24, 2024, 1:28 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I am basing this poll off of what teams have done so far, not projection. I will redo my poll from scratch every week so as to avoid inertia. The margins between teams are really slim right now, so don’t read too much into these.
