How the fan poll works

Every ballot ranks 25 teams. A first-place vote is worth 25 points, second is worth 24, and so on down to 25th, which is worth 1. Add up every ballot and the totals are the poll.

Ties break first on the number of first-place votes, then on average rank across the ballots that included the team.

Each device gets one ballot per week. You can edit it as often as you like right up until voting locks — only the final version counts, and it counts exactly once.

No account, no email, no sign-up. You can add a display name to your ballot if you want to be credited when you share it; leave it blank and it stays anonymous.

The standings update as ballots come in, so the poll is never a black box — you can watch it move all week. When voting locks, the result is published as that week's poll and becomes the baseline the next week's trend is measured against.

Because the count is live, your ballot starts prefilled from the current fan poll rather than from an empty list. Reorder it, drop teams, add your own — it's a starting point, not a suggestion.

Each week opens for voting and locks on a fixed schedule shown on the home page. Ballots submitted after the lock don't count toward that week; the next window opens straight after.
