Like
-3 "Big" Districts. Having three districts, each with at least 6-teams, should allow for the 'right' teams to earn a bid into the playoffs.
What I Would Have Liked
-Two Divisions. Stop with the thought of only using enrollment numbers. Could have gone. Top-24 biggest enrollments schools into two division. 5 Classes
5A Division I (Top Tier)
- Cleveland
- Rio Rancho
- Volcano Vista
- Clovis
- Eldorado
- La Cueva
- Manzano
- Sandia
- Centennial
- Mayfield (Up)
- Las Cruces
- Roswell (Up)

*Up = from current 5A class (we eliminated 6A)
-Take only the top 24 teams with the biggest enrollment numbers but split into two divisions.
-Top 8 teams make the playoffs.
-Two 6 team Districts/Conference or Three, 4 team districts.
-10 game schedule but all games must be against 5A teams from either Division I or II.
-Divison II gets tricky to get into three districts but would only have Albuquerque make two long distance travels in district/conference play.
Just a thought.
