CAREER GAME LOGDIII INDEPENDENT LEADERS — WHERE DEFRANCESCO RANKS
Experimental build -- NCAA football, FBS/FCS/D2/D3 nationally (started as
an 8-team SCIAC D3 pilot; still one conference among many now on file),
sourced from the NCAA's own public data (ncaa.com via henrygd/ncaa-api).
Numbers are computed live from this product's own library. Where a figure
is missing it is shown as an em dash, never as zero -- this data source has
known, documented gaps (see the CFB Pirate feasibility/build-plan project
docs).
Team, Team Season, and Matchup Reports are built on demand -- the first
person to open one for a given matchup or season may wait up to 50 seconds
while it's generated; it isn't stuck, and it loads instantly for everyone
after that.
