The Condorcet method that you are looking for is MinMax.

The losing candidates are ranked naturally by the size of their maximum
losing margins. [There is a non-margins version of this, too.]

This method is not the most popular Condorcet method on the list, but for
the purposes that you have in mind, where voters can actually find out
intermediate results before voting, the refined Condorcet methods probably
lose most of their advantages over the cruder versions.
