Weighted Rankings, USL Week 5

I decided to take a couple of minutes to figure out where the various USL1 teams stood in terms of “points per game”, or a weighted score. To me, this produces a much clearer picture of how strong each of the teams is. I suppose you could go even further and make the “points per game” a weighted moving average, maybe next week.
