| Section | Top Teams | Notes |
| 1 | Haldane | No S1-D representative last year. Maybe Haldane can field a team in 2018. |
| 2 | Duanesburg, Berlin, Hoosic Valley | Duanesburg drops back down to Class D and likely replaces Greenwich as S2-D champ. |
| 3 | Beaver River, Tully, South Lewis, New York Mills, Sauquoit Valley, Remsen | Beaver
River has the most depth, but the addition of one or two mid-level
runners could push Tully or reigning States champ South Lewis to the
top. |
| 4 | Delhi, Trumansburg, Thomas A. Edison | Delhi won the S4-D last year with a very young team, and it should win again this year. |
| 5 | NA | With the departure of Addison to Class C, there are no teams in S5-D that enter 2018 with even the minimum ratings. |
| 6 | Maple Grove, Silver Creek, Clymer-Sherman-Panama | Maple
Grove is the overwhelming favorite in S6-D, though both Silver Creek
and CSP could make things interesting with a few new young runners. |
| 7 | Seton Catholic-Plattsburgh, Lake Placid | Seton Catholic's bid for a 21st straight championship is in jeopardy if Lake Placid strengthens the back line just a little bit. |
| 8 | No representatives |
|
| 9 | NA | Unsure if there will be a representative in S9-D. Last year's States team Millbrook moved to C. |
| 10 | Norwood-Norfolk | Norwood-Norfolk is the one. |
| 11 | NA | No remaining S11-D teams with enough runners to reach minimum rating level . |
