The problem is that Ratings are based on multiple factors, and not necessarily accurate.

From what we've been told, Ratings are determined by things such as:
 * Combat Prowess: Plain old fighting strength.
 * Aggressiveness: How active they are in tangling with the CCG.
 * Kill Count: How active they are at hunting.
 * Influence/Connections: Association or membership with major groups, influence in Ghoul society, ect.

So someone like Big Madam was rated as SS primarily because of her influence in Ghoul Society, rather than just being a strong fighter.

Rize and Tsukiyama had S-ratings because of being major predators, with numerous kills to their record.

Irimi, Ayato, and Eto had high ratings because of aggressively attacking the CCG.
