Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 6, 2025, 7:43 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Since I'm not using a computer/hybrid poll for a bit, I wanted to really try to take an analytical approach to how I rank teams from a human perspective. I tried to evaluate just their existing resumes, which is how I came up with this list.
