MemeofMemeJTG999999 Ballot for 2024 Week 7
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Oct. 6, 2024, 2:37 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.
