Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Dec. 10, 2024, 12:50 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Going off mainly who I just believe to be purely the best teams, using a mix of eye test, W-L, and advanced stats. I attempt to have less bias and "inertia" that's based on pre-conceived notions. Essentially less knee jerk reactions and a heavier focus on overall resume.
