These are the top 10 teams in each class ranked by strength of schedule as measured by the computer Maxwell Ratings. They don’t factor in out-of-state opponents, so a few teams such as Milton and Benedictine that have taken their lumps from outsiders aren’t getting full credit. The ratings, which allow for cross-class comparisons, reflect the typical strength of a team’s opponent. If Team A’s rating is 10 points higher than Team B, it means that A’s opponents on average would be favored by 10 points against B’s.
