Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 30, 2025, 3:56 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Well I've never produced a ranking so unusual in my life. I let the algorithm run and boy did I get even weirder results than this. Only after accounting for obvious HTH and preferentially treating undefeated teams did I arrive at this monstrosity. I was wondering if doing no scaling between restraint corrections would be a big issue, and clearly it is.
