Honest question. Would take a lot of question out of who is the best and who isn't the best.

The NAIA in the past rated courses on a 1 to 5 scale in order to give raters around the country some perspective on how much weight a rater should put on times from a specific course.
Because times don't matter in cross country. You don't get bonus points for winning by a minute.
I can understand why the speed ratings thing started. It's fun to play "what if" games, but the only way of truly knowing how you'll do against another runner or team is to go race them.
There is no state-wide system. Bill Meylan calculates speed ratings and publishes them on tullyrunners.com. It's just him and not endorsed by anyone.
