Vermont HS football QPRs after Week 2

We're two weeks into the Vermont high school football team so I'm ready to post QPR ratings for the first time. I'm not ready to draw too much from these numbers yet, though.

With only four teams having split their first two games there hasn't been much opportunity for a pecking order to develop yet. So these rankings are essentially just standings at this point.

That said, there are several teams with plenty of reason to be happy with the way they've started. A few that jump out to me include:

* CVU -- 2-0 with a win over the defending state champions? You can't do much better than that.
* Essex -- Runaway wins over Colchester and Mt. Anthony would be a good start for any team, but especially so for a Hornets team that started 1-5 last season en route to missing the playoffs.
* Mt. Mansfield -- The Cougars might only be 1-1, but their win came against a Milton team that made the playoffs last year and they've already got their trip to Burr and Burton out of the way.
* Woodstock -- The Wasps' victory over 2015 runner-up U-32 is as good a win as anyone outside of CVU can claim so far, and it has the Wasps deservedly atop the standings in the early going.

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.
