Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 8, 2025, 11:05 a.m.

Overall Rationale: This is purely a performance rating through the first few weeks. Who has looked the best through the first few weeks of the year until we get a better idea who is and who isn't actually good. There'll probably be some big swings in this until things start to solidify more as the weeks pass
