Vermont HS Football QPRs through Friday's Games

It was a late night at the office, so I'll leave the analysis for tomorrow and Sunday. For now, here are a couple of questions from Friday night in Vermont high school football

* How much of the credit for the 6-0 starts of Burlington and Milton is down to soft schedules? Neither looked like a contender Friday night as BHS fell to a middle-of-the-pack Middlebury team and first-place Burr and Burton hammered Milton.

* Where would Woodstock and Windsor fit in the Division II race? The Wasps' two-score win over a solid U-32 team suggests neither would be over their heads, except maybe against Burr and Burton.

Anyway, here are the QPR standings after Friday's games.

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 win over 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.
