Comment: I think the conferences with single digit wins and some of those above that are clearly in the wrong division. The idea of divisions is to give everybody a shot at a championship they can win. What shot do these schools have? There should be either a Division 1AA or these conferences should be shifted back to Division II where they clearly belong.

Not to be nitpicky because I really like this data, but just looking over it, the Big East's 2016 record caught my eye. They definitely had 5 teams in the tourney (Butler, Providence, Villanova, Seton Hall, Xavier) and thus should have 4 losses...
