+- `ESPNDataSource.fetch_standings` asks each league the endpoint that league
+  actually publishes. It tried `/standings` first whatever the league and fell
+  back to `/rankings` only on a 404, but college leagues answer `/standings`
+  with a 200 that carries no poll, so the fallback never fired: the rank badge
+  simply never appeared and anything keyed off rankings quietly did nothing.
+  Endpoints are now ordered by whether the league publishes a poll, and a 200
+  that lacks the key counts as a miss, so a league answering both still ends up
+  with whichever carries the poll. Only a 404 is routine — that is how a league
+  says it has none; a connection error, a timeout or an unparseable body is
+  logged as an error again, and a bug raised while inspecting the payload is no
+  longer swallowed as a missing poll. This is the implementation the football,
+  baseball and hockey boards already ship; core was the last copy on the old
+  one.
