The teams at the top of the season's first state rankings aren't unexpected, but the order they are in turned out to be a little surprising.

Pinkerton sits at the top of the first rankings at 5-0 in Division I, with Bedford (6-0) not far behind. With a schedule that features games against two other Top 15 teams - Winnacunnet, Londonderry - this week, the Bulldogs could vault ahead of the Astros with a pair of wins.

Division II Lebanon take the third spot, while a trio of teams from Division III and IV fill out the top five - Conant, Gilford and Sunapee.

Here are the complete rankings for Jan. 11\. Updated rankings will be posted throughout the regular season.

### How the rankings are done

We took the NHIAA’s football rating system, and gave it a little tweak. Instead of 10 points for a win, we weighted the wins by division, giving 12 for a win over a D1 team, 10 for a win over D2, eight for a win over D3, and six for a win over D4\. Plus, every team got two points for a win by a beaten opponent. The two point totals were added together and divided by the number of games played.
