Division II

Meanwhile there's still a week to go in the Division II regular season, but there's only one thing left to be decided. Burr and Burton clinched the top seed by topping Bellows Falls in Saturday night's showdown while the Terriers and third-place Burlington have also locked up playoff berths. BF and BHS would finish tied for second in the QPR if the Seahorses win and the Terriers lose in Week 9, but Bellows Falls would still get home field for their semifinal matchup thanks to a head to head win.

That leaves Milton and Fair Haven fighting for the final spot, and despite the Yellowjackets owning the higher current QPR and the head-to-head victory, it's the Slaters who control their own destiny. A win over Bellows Falls (which has nothing to play for) would give Fair Haven enough of a strength-of-schedule boost to finish two points ahead of Milton, regardless of whether the Yellowjackets top Mt. Abraham in their finale.

Here are the current D2 QPRs:

(QPR includes only Division II games. Games against teams in other Vermont divisions are only counted for tiebreaker purposes.)
1. Burr and Burton (8-0 overall, 8-0 D2), 104 points, 13 QPR
2. Bellows Falls (7-1 overall, 6-1 D2), 70 points, 10 QPR
3. Burlington (6-2 overall, 5-2 D2), 61 points, 8.71 QPR
4. Milton (5-3 overall, 4-3 D2), 42 points, 6 QPR
5. Fair Haven (5-3 overall, 4-3 D2), 38 points, 5.43 QPR
6. Mt. Mansfield (2-6 overall, 2-5 D2), 18 points, 2.57 QPR
7. Mt. Abraham (2-6 overall, 2-5 D2), 16 points, 2.29 QPR
8. Lyndon (1-7 overall, 1-6 D2), 7 points, 1 QPR
9. North Country (0-8 overall, 0-7 D2), 0 points, 0 QPR

How do these numbers work? Teams receive 10 points for a win over a D1 opponent, 7 points for a win over a D2 opponent and 5 points for a D3 opponent. Teams also receive 2 points for every game won by the teams they have beaten. QPR is total points divided by games played.
