Answer

Team A is third in the PPP standings.
Team B is seventh in the PPP standings.

Therefore:
Team A is ahead of Team B.
Team B is behind Team A.

Using ‘table’ as you have isn’t wrong but it is only used in British English. It’s unknown to many people here.

Answer

The one about following suggests that they right behind team A, instead of a few places behind. It helps if you say...team A leads Team B by 3 places, or Team B follows Team A, with Team A leading by 3 places etc. Otherwise things might not be as clear as you would like.
