Set Nine
Franklin Roosevelt (the War)
John Tyler (annexation of Texas, not judged on traitorous actions after presidency)
William McKinley (a good enough president, for sure, but what was the point of Spanish-American War?)
Set Ten
Theodore Roosevelt (Pamama Canal)
Harry Truman (ended the War, stood up to Stalin)
Ronald Reagan (very close to Truman, but did not face the same challenges. Presidency marred by Beirut disaster and Iran-contra)

Set 9
Roosevelt
Tyler
McKinley
An interesting set of controversial presidents. Tyler was not taken very seriously. McKinley drove our brief foray into being an Empire (which we thankfully abandoned as quickly as possible thereafter). Roosevelt was possibly the most megalomaniacal president ever, and certainly did untold damage to our national identity by attempting to turn us into something akin to a consensual fascism, yet also provided steadfast leadership during WWII and a lot of confidence (misplaced, I think) during the Depression. I put all of these presidents into the bottom third (because I tend to judge on "best for America over the long run), but FDR was clearly one of the greatest presidents. (You don't have to be good to be great.)
Set 10 (best overall set yet)
Reagan
Roosevelt
Truman
OK, set 10 was hard to judge. All three are in the top third of presidents. Reagan peacefully ended the Cold War that Truman started, and both were necessary. Teddy Roosevelt's work on food safety and national security (especially the Panama canal) were critical advances for the country.

Wow, Set 10 is tough, but let's leave them as they are. I know the list is randomized, but its a darn shame for these three, all great presidents in their own way, to wind up pitted against one another. Not a bad one in the lot. But I think of the three, Reagan is at the moment the most overrated, hence I put him third.
