Class 5A: Week 8 New Mexico HS Football Playoff Picture
NMPreps weekly look at the New Mexico high school football playoffs. #nmpreps
Ranking the Projected District Champions (current record)
Farmington (7-0, 1-0)
Los Lunas (7-0, 0-0)
Goddard (4-1, 0-0)
Mayfield (2-4, 0-0)
Ranking the Possible At-Large Teams
Roswell (2-4, 0-0)
Artesia (5-2, 0-0)
Belen (4-2, 1-0)
Santa Teresa (5-1, 0-0)
Deming (4-3, 0-0)
Piedra Vista (4-3, 1-0)
Scoop: This is a projection feature, that is why some teams are in higher than others or in different groups. Roswell is our (and has been) the DRUP but don't be shocked if they are the DC. Those three battle each year. Belen and the winner of Santa Teresa/Deming is likely the 7 and 8-seeds, earning a home first-round game.
Ranking the Bubble Teams
Capital (3-3, 0-0)
Alamogordo (2-5, 0-0)
Los Alamos (3-4, 0-1)
Scoop: Capital or Los Alamos will likely eliminate each other when they square off in district play. Alamogordo from district 3 (labeled as 4 but it's really the third district listed) could also be the odd team out here.
Ranking the Likely Out Teams
Miyamura (3-4, 0-1)
Del Norte (1-5, 0-1)
Valley (1-5, 0-1)
Highland (1-5, 0-1)
Scoop: It would take a lot (likely too much) for Miyamura, Valley or Highland at this point. All started 0-1 in district play and for Valley and Miyamura they each lost to a team that they had to "MUST WIN" against in Belen and Piedra Vista.
Ranking the Out
Chaparral (0-6, 0-0)
Scoop: More teams will join this one team band.
Week 8 Projected Bracket
#1 Farmington
#2 Los Lunas
#3 Goddard
#4 Roswell
#5 Artesia vs #12 Alamogordo
#6 Mayfield vs #11 Capital
#7 Santa Teresa vs #10 Piedra Vista
