QPR standings after Friday

Some key matchups Friday night led to a lot a position changes in the QPR rankings. That was most notable in Division I, where the top eight spots all shifted to some degree and Rutland took over first place for the first time this season.

Also, the standings in Division III finally shifted to reflect the perception as Otter Valley's big win over U-32 moves the presumptive favorite Otters ahead of the Raiders and into line for the top seed.

Anyway, here are the rankings halfway through Week 6:

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.
