“The final rankings posted for each team represent a filtered score that objectively captures the underlying information content of observable voting patterns. We won’t be more specific, because we aren’t willing to risk exposing detailed information about who voted for what, and because we don’t want to invite individuals to try to exploit our approach in the future, but we invite you to consider the results on merit “
