Points for and against are season totals across every game, not conference play alone — that is what mart.team_season carries. Rows are ordered by conference record only, and teams on the same record share a place (T-2). Head-to-head, common opponents and the other published tiebreakers are not applied: this is the raw table, not a championship-game seeding.
