Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 18, 2026, 8:19 a.m.

Overall Rationale: In the early season, I treat my ballot as a sort of an eye test based power ranking. As the season progresses, and we have more data points to look at on the resume, my ballot shifts more towards a resume based power ranking.
