Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 15, 2026, 8:24 a.m.

Overall Rationale: A combination of games I watched with highlights/other rankings (with a grain of salt) for games I could not watch; at the end, I compared each team with the team below them, and if I believed they would currently lose based on what I have seen, I swapped them until I was happy with my rankings
