Here’s a minor update to my rankings; not much movement has occurred because, well, it’s early October, and I don’t want to just go shuffling teams for no reason. I have added 25 more teams, looking exclusively at their performance at the event or two they played at; I expect quite a bit of variance in this over the next few months.
