It's Cleveland and Rio Rancho and then a HUGE gap with the rest of the rankings. Who is the next 6A title contender (if we can say contender)? - Answer: La Cueva - No. 5. Yes, the Bears lost in week 2 to Rio Rancho (No. 2) but now three wins in a row and they have quietly gone in the shadow of those City of Vision teams. The Bears defense has only allowed 26 points in those three games, two of which were ranked teams. It will be difficult to erase a 50-point loss from our memory but the playoffs bring a little different flavor.
Right now the rankings go - Farmington, Goddard, and Los Lunas. How do we really feel about the three teams? Answer - My preseason pick to win state was Goddard. I still feel that way by a hair over Farmington with Los Lunas a close three. Today, I am saying that two of these three will play in the state championship - what a stretch Grine! I know! (haha) I remember watching the last time Farmington and Goddard played for the SC. This one should bring more scoring but you can bet that I will be there for it again. Artesia and Mayfield (and 1-4 Roswell) are the next three and one will make out the semi-finals, I would beat Roswell or Mayfield.
What top-20 team loses this week as a favorite? Answer - I make the rules so I won't have a true answer however, keep in mind I did see two of them happening last week. Socorro, this is not the kiss of death but you are my most likely pick this week. Also yes this St. Michael's (3-1) team is not the same as the preseason squad we really liked with quarterback Lucas Coriz but this one is the most likely to upset of the scheduled games. If anything, it will be a very good one.
