Maxpreps.com is rating Chenango Forks as 11th in the State and Rye as number 1 (all classes inclusive) - they are stating that the forks are doing well basically to the fact that they have a easy schedule based on thier rating system
Rye is listed as 196 in the country and Forks at 462 - Rye may have an excellent team and possibly a tougher schedule but this rating system does not give forks the credit that they have earned.

This type of rating system is meaningless until sectional playoffs. How can the strength of schedule come into play when every game is in their own league? Since the site claims to not consider previous seasons, there currently is absolutely no relation between a section IV class B team and any other team.

These rankings appear to be totally mathematical. Tough enough a task in the NCAA where there is a lot of inter-regional play, but in high school where many of the regions have minimal or no intra-regional play it's even tougher.

While the actual places in the rankings some teams appear right now seem somewhat suspect, overall the system seems to do a decent job of separating the cream to the top. Even on the bottom of the rankings, it seems to have teams that (unfortunately) belong there. Section 4's own Odessa-Montour is rock bottom in the NY State rankings and Ithaca isn't too far above them. Ithaca probably belongs higher (have to believe there are dozens of teams they can beat), but relative to their peers, schedule and results, they certainly belong way, way down.

All in all, those and other rankings just serve as fodder for discussion (like this)
