Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 25, 2026, 2:48 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Most deserving with SoR as a top 2 blends on how I like to rank, with some eye test thrown in as well when teams are close
Especially early in the year, I care more about what I have seen from teams compared to how good I think you might secretly be
