Opening week, and as with the USL rankings the same formula applies; but with only 9 teams it will be much shorter than the other rankings. One team did not play (Sky Blue FC) due to the unequal number of teams in the league this year.
A short note about methodology. Basically anything that goes against the ‘expected result’ (home team winning) will have greater change in my rankings. A tie would cause the home team to drop slightly, and the away team to rise. A home team losing would be a bigger drop; loss by a large margin would magnify that as well.
