Why is my command rating abnormally high considering my win/loss ratio as a comm (it's like 41 to 115 or something horrid)? I tried looking at the math behind the comm rating, but you guys are about 500x smarter than me and I can't make heads or tails of it.

It depends on who you lost to.
If you lost to an idiot commander (say me), you'd have a big hit in your mu (and a big hit to your sigma, so the change in rank is a bit compensated). Also I would gain a lot of mu and sigma, and I would jump a couple (few) ranks. This is because AS goes 'huh, I didn't see that coming'.
If you lost to a great commander (say Aarm), neither's mu would change and your sigma would decrease -- the net result is a (small) rank increase! In layman's terms, AS goes 'duh, nothing new here'.

People just take stuff too seriously I think. Except IB, of course.

Thanks for adding the scrolling column headers; that helps a lot with finding the stats I want to look at. Another suggestion that would make things easier to find would be to shrink the column width of some that are unnecessarily long. I can't fit the whole page width on my monitor's highest resolution (1280 wide), although I imagine that some of you with wide-screen and/or bigger displays could do it.
The columns that need it most are Ranking (Rank), Defections (? Defec. ?), and all of the Command stats where command could be shortened to Cmd. or Comm. Just figured I'd throw in my two cents again.
EDIT:
The horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the stats pane throws the column headers out of alignment as well.

If you can choose to be decisive or correct, always choose decisive. Otherwise, this can happen to you:
"Totus vestri substructio es erus nobis iam"
"Totus vestri substructio es erus nobis iam"
The leaderboard is nice. A couple of questions/suggestions:
1. Why is the table fixed-height and fixed-width? This makes it so that if I have a small browser window, I have to deal with separate scrollbars for both the table and the browser. Wouldn't it be just as easy to let the table extend its full size so the only scrollbars that matter are the ones on the browser?
2. Could you add a "highlight" row option? The idea is that if you click on a row, it's highlighted in some easily visible color. This will make it so that when you scroll horizontally so that the names are out of sight, you don't lose track of which row you're looking at. The javascript should be pretty simple: just add/remove an extra CSS class for the clicked-on row that changes its background color.
3. (EDIT) One more: I love the javascript sorting, but it would be nice if there was some sort of feedback to tell that it's working between when you click and when it updates. For example, you could make the column header look depressed (just reverse the gradient and maybe darken the border) until the javascript finishes sorting.
4. (EDIT2) The stack rating coloring only works in IE.
On another note, I apparently like flying on the down-rank team much more than I thought... interesting.
