My opinion on seeds (not a prediction of what the NMAA will do):
1. Cibola
2. La Cueva
3. Las Cruces
4. Volcano Vista
5. Atrisco Heritage
6. Albuquerque High
7. Rio Rancho
8. Cleveland
9. Onate
10. Sandia
11. Eldorado
12. Carlsbad
You could make an argument for Nos. 4-5-6 to be AHA/AHS/VV, because AHA won its district and AHS beat VV 4-1, but I think VV had the overall strongest season and deserves the No. 4.
I put Cleveland and Rio Rancho ahead of Onate because they both beat Onate, although it was very early in the season and in Rio Rancho.
The last at-large team in is Eldorado, over West Mesa and Hobbs, based on a stronger MaxPreps rating. Those three are very close. (Hobbs and Eldorado tied, 1-1, in the only head-to-head matchup among the three.)
Carlsbad is the lowest-ranked team in the field, but the NMAA may put them higher than No. 12 because they won their district. Also, if Hobbs gets in, Carlsbad will have to be ahead of them.
