* Looks great, I think everyone is in agreeance on that. I had some questions about the actual data being shown and whether the emphasis should be on other datapoints and aggregations...
So the aggregate conference W-L standings are overall records, right? As the season goes on, most games are played within conferences...so...what's the relevancy of displaying conference by these W-L numbers? If there were no early non-conference games, then the W-L ratio would basically be 50-50 for every conference. I think you should remove that statistic as it's not terribly useful.
* Also, the filters provide a few confusing options. If I select "Winning games", the view stays the same except that everyone (and every conference) has a winning record...I understand programmatically why that is, but I don't think the layperson will.
