Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 1, 2024, 8:17 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I try to rank based mostly off performance, with light weighting put into team talent/preseason expectations. As the season goes on, preseason expectations for a team will be considered less and less. I do not take into account injuries
