Plenty of possibilities and movement that could take place in the top-8. Three things to consider: 1) possible DC (as of today), head-to-head between a couple teams, 3) win percentage on a couple teams is very close!

FINAL TAKE
Valencia and Santa Teresa could still shake the entire bracket up before all is said and done.
Remember that we used today's standings, that's why I provided at the top.
Plenty can still change (see the final word on top-8).
