SEED & SELECTION PROCESS
Criteria
1. Finish in regular season district play.
2. Head to Head
3. Wins against district champions regardless of class.
4. Overall Record
5. Ranking
6. Member School Input
Resume Battle: No. 1 Seed
Groups of 4 (DC's): Hobbs, West Mesa, La Cueva, Rio Rancho
Pick-2: Taking everyone’s favorite debate between Hobbs and West Mesa.
Hobbs-West Mesa
1. Even
2. Null
3. Even (Hobbs – 3; West Mesa – 3)
4. Hobbs (Hobbs 26-1; West Mesa 23-1)
5. Hobbs (Hobbs No. 1; West Mesa No. 3
6. Chantz Input: Most polls/rankings will now have Hobbs going number one with two straight wins over Carlsbad. Even if West Mesa got the votes to get the Member Input, it wouldn’t be enough.
Resume Battle: No. 2 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): West Mesa, La Cueva, Rio Rancho, Carlsbad
Pick-2: The strongest resumes from West Mesa and former No.1 ranked Carlsbad
West Mesa-Carlsbad
1. West Mesa (DC vs. DRUP)
2. Null
3. Carlsbad (Cbad – 5 vs. WM – 3)
4. West Mesa (23-1 West vs. 27-2 Cbad)
5. Carlsbad (Cbad No. 2; West Mesa No. 3)
6. Carlsbad. Okay, so here’s the funny thing, they’re both even at 2 points each and it’ll likely come down to this here criteria point. I believe it is possible with two fresh losses in their mind, and West Mesa’s clean sweep and “YES! Movement-esque” fans, it wouldn’t surprise me if West takes this to claim the No. 2 seed.
Resume Battle: No. 3 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): West Mesa, La Cueva, Rio Rancho, Mayfield
Pick-2: La Cueva has a few better key wins and ranks a tad higher than Rio Rancho.
West Mesa-La Cueva
1. Even
2. Null
3. West Mesa (West Mesa – 3; La Cueva – 1)
4. West Mesa (West Mesa 23-1; La Cueva 17-7)
5. West Mesa (WM No. 2; LC No. 6)
6. West Mesa.
Resume Battle: No. 4 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): La Cueva, Rio Rancho, Mayfield, Highland
Pick-2: Last remaining district champions on the board.
La Cueva-Rio Rancho
1. Even
2. La Cueva (La Cueva got the win in the Metro Tourney)
3. Even (La Cueva -1; Rio Rancho – 1)
4. La Cueva (La Cueva 17-7; Rio Rancho 16-11)
5. La Cueva (La Cueva 6th; Rio Rancho 11th)
6. La Cueva. La Cueva has the 3-0 lead on criteria points and even with input, Rio Rancho won’t have enough to comeback (even if they were down 3-1).
Resume Battle: No. 5 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Rio Rancho, Eldorado, Mayfield, Highland
Pick-2: Eldorado has the next best resume to Rio Rancho.
Rio Rancho-Eldorado
1. Rio Rancho
2. Eldorado
3. Eldorado (Eldo’-3; RR-1)
4. Eldorado (Eldo’ 19-5; RR 16-11)
5. Eldorado (Eldo’ 5th; RR 11th)
6. Eldorado sweeps the leg, Cobra Kai style.
Resume Battle: No. 6 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Rio Rancho, Sandia, Mayfield, Highland
Pick-2: Sandia has the better record and ranking.
Rio Rancho-Sandia
1. Rio Rancho.
2. Even (Both teams beat each other once)
3. Even (Both teams have one win against a DC)
4. Sandia (Sandia 21-5; Rio Rancho 16-11)
5. Sandia (Sandia 7th; Rio Rancho 11th)
6. Rio Rancho. If Rio Rancho got this point, there would be a tie and that would use a H2H record. But since both teams are 1-1 against each other, the next tiebreaker would be Maxpreps rankings. Sandia gets the break.
Resume Battle: No. 7 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Rio Rancho, Mayfield, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Mayfield has the next best resume compared to SF and Highland.
Rio Rancho-Mayfield
1. Rio Rancho
2. Mayfield
3. Mayfield (Mayfield – 4; Rio Rancho – 1)
4. Rio Rancho (Rio Rancho 16-11; Mayfield 15-11)
5. Mayfield (Mayfield 10th; Rio Rancho 11th)
6. Rio Rancho. Well, for now it looks like even with this point to force a tie, Rio Rancho would lose that tiebreaker due to the H2H loss against Mayfield at the LC Hoopla Invite. Things could change though if the MP rankings shift with Rio Rancho moving ahead of Mayfield. That could open the window for Volcano Vista and Cibola to move up in the seeding.
Resume Battle: No. 8 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Rio Rancho, Las Cruces, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Las Cruces definitely started off hot and have the next best resume.
Rio Rancho-Las Cruces
1. Rio Rancho
2. Las Cruces
3. Las Cruces (LC – 5; RR – 1)
4. Las Cruces (LC 19-8; RR 16-11)
5. Las Cruces (LC No. 4; RR No. 11)
6. Las Cruces. Better overall resume despite their district standing.
Resume Battle: No. 9 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Rio Rancho, Centennial, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Centennial definitely has the next best resume.
Rio Rancho-Centennial
1. Rio Rancho
2. Centennial
3. Centennial (Centennial – 2; Rio Rancho – 1)
4. Rio Rancho (RR 16-11; Centennial 14-12)
5. Rio Rancho (RR - #11; Centennial - #12)
6. Rio Rancho. There’s a few things that could shift for Rio Rancho. This battle is no different, but I think Rio Rancho is safe from anyone ranking Centennial above Rio Rancho. If the Lady Hawks got this criteria point, then it would be madness (“Cen10” owns the H2H tiebreaker).
Resume Battle: No. 10 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Volcano Vista, Centennial, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Volcano Vista has the better resume than Highland.
Volcano Vista-Centennial
1. Volcano Vista
2. Null
3. Centennial (Centennial – 2; VV – 1)
4. Volcano Vista (VV 16-9; Centennial 14-12)
5. Volcano Vista (VV #9; Centennial #12)
6. Centennial. I do like Volcano Vista's resume but Centennial proved to be a pesky and dangerous team in district. They just couldn't close out games against the likes of Hobbs and Carlsbad. Centennial did get the split against Mayfield and Las Cruces which stands more impressive than VV's district wins.
Resume Battle: No. 11 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Cibola, Centennial, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: The “sleeper” pick of Cibola has the best resume.
Cibola-Centennial
1. Cibola
2. Cibola
3. Cibola (Cibola – 3; Centennial – 2)
4. Cibola (Cibola 17-8; Centennial 14-12)
5. Cibola (Cibola No. 8; Centennial No. 12)
6. The cleanest of sweeps, Cibola.
Resume Battle: No. 12 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Cleveland, Centennial, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Highland has the H2H win over Cleveland. They’re up.
Centennial-Highland
1. Highland
2. Null
3. Centennial (Centennial – 2; Highland – 0)
4. Highland (Highland 15-9; Centennial 14-12)
5. Centennial (Centennial No. 12; Highland No. 13)
6. Centennial. Although Highland posted a record season, Centennial has the better body of work and remained thoroughly competitive with their district foes (and nearly pulling off some upsets in the process). It still wouldn’t surprise me if Highland got the higher seed, but Centennial’s work speaks for itself.
Resume Battle: No. 13 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Cleveland, Onate, Highland, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Onate has the H2H win over Cleveland.
Highland-Onate
1. Highland
2. Highland
3. Onate (Onate – 1; Highland – 0)
4. Highland (Highland 15-9; Onate 9-18)
5. Highland (Highland 13th; Onate 14th)
6. Highland.
Resume Battle: No. 14 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Cleveland, Onate, Atrisco Heritage, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Cleveland has the better ranking than the other two against Onate.
Onate-Cleveland
1. Cleveland
2. Onate
3. Onate (Onate – 1; Cleveland – 0)
4. Onate (Onate 9-18; Cleveland 8-19)
5. Onate (Onate 14th; Cleveland 16th)
6. Onate. Darn near clean sweep for Onate.
Resume Battle: No. 15 Seed
Group of 4 (Add One): Cleveland, Gadsden, Atrisco Heritage, Santa Fe
Pick-2: Santa Fe looks the most promising with their wins against Clovis.
Cleveland-Santa Fe
1. Even
2. Null
3. Null
4. Santa Fe (SF 11-16; Cleveland 8-19)
5. Cleveland (Cleveland #16; SF #19)
6. Cleveland. Yeah, I know. These aren’t the most impressive resumes. Thank goodness for the go-ahead tiebreakers. Could Santa Fe jump in? Maybe, but it would take the criteria points here to take it and I don’t think their wins against Clovis look better than Cleveland’s wins against Piedra Vista.
Resume Battle: No. 16 Seed
Last Two: Piedra Vista, Santa Fe
1. Santa Fe
2. Null
3. Piedra Vista (PV – 2; SF – 0)
4. Piedra Vista (PV 12-16; SF 11-16)
5. Piedra Vista (PV #15; SF #19)
6. Piedra Vista. It would be a real shocker for Santa Fe to jump in, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. That being said, I’m sure Piedra Vista wishes they could have those two games against Cleveland back to position themselves slight better than the possible cross state trip to Hobbs.
