We have data! Sort of... We're getting there anyway, as those with losses take tumbles down and--in most cases--out of my ballot. There's still some subjective ordering in play here, but on-field results play an increasing role in ordering again this week.
As always, this is a draft. Your own takes are welcome and will be considered for revisions before tomorrow morning's ballot deadline. Ballot is after the jump.
