Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 14, 2026, 5:26 p.m.

Overall Rationale: This is a personal human poll with varying degrees of ranking methodology. No methodology weighs higher than another. I rank my teams off of performance, power rankings, and resume, and I try to watch every game I can to add a personal feel for each team.
