Conferences
Ranked by a top-weighted average of member ratings: each next-best team in a conference counts 10% less than the one above it. That measures quality at the top while still counting depth, and unlike a plain mean it does not punish an eighteen-team league for its tail. The plain mean is shown beside it.
