This is awesome. My only concern is that the data looks to be a bit stale, as the Oregon Ducks won last night but none of their stats are up. Mind if I ask where you're pulling the data from?

Thanks. Data is sourced directly from the NCAA. Expect updates every Sunday morning.

#14Very nice! Beautiful and very fast for the amount of data that is calculated on the fly. What technologies did you use? Also, did you have to pay license fees to display team and conference logos?
MVC3 + SQL Server + Mongo + custom software for the realtime calculations.
All components (with the exception of the front-end) are highly abstracted enabling us to swap technologies (e.g. SQL Server to MySQL, Mongo to Memcached) quickly.

#16The interface is excellent. If you had NBA statistics, I would be willing to pay for this.

Thanks for replying. I'd still love to know more about the process of getting permission to show conference and team logos.

#18Hah, read the title as "football, the sort you play with a round ball" and got rather excited. Only minor disappontment ensued when I realized you were talking about "handegg". ;)
Still, I love this kinda stuff and have been pining for more creative, dynamic presentations of futbol stats. I wish anyone could explain to me why every darn mainstream coverage site has the same, boring chart of the same, boring dozen stats. Sagarin does some fun math, but his presentation is uninspired at best.
For all the uses of highly-dynamic HTML5/JS that are distracting and unnecesary, presentation of stats is just a homerun!

#19This is beautiful. What charting libraries are you using?

#20The margin of victory does not correctly sort.
Seems like it's using a lexographical sort on any column with numbers and letters (like "42 yds").
