QPR standings through Friday's games

We're deep enough into the season now that I'll start posting updates after the end of play on Friday nights. That said, there really wasn't a lot of change on Friday of Week 4 as the .

The big mover of the night is CVU, which jumped into a tie for first place in Division I with a second straight shutout at Essex. The Redhawks (4-0) have allowed just 15 points in four games, and nine of those came in the closing moments of a Week 2 win over South Burlington.

Also worth noting is that Milton's win over BFA-Fairfax pushed Division II's record in non-divisional games to 4-0, including two wins over DI teams. That's ironic considering Division II teams are the only ones in the state who receive no QPR credit for inter-divisional victories.

Anyway, here are the full QPR rankings:

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.
