BRACKET
1. Hope Christian (Auto/DC)
2. Shiprock (Auto/DC)
3. Robertson (Auto/DC)
These top 3 seeds are fairly solid and shouldn't see any movement.
4. Moriarty (At-Large/DRUP)
5. Portales (At-Large/D3P)
6. West Las Vegas (At-Large/DRUP)
7. Silver (Auto/DC)
These 4 seeds however is where we could see some shuffling. Although I think Moriarty deserves the 4-seed, and Portales should follow with Member Input criteria points, anything could happen. For example, Silver actually has Moriarty beat 3-1 in the criteria points. West and Silver actually split 2-2 with the Member Input as the last point which I awarded to WLV. And Moriarty has West beat 3-1 in their point. However that 3-way standoff is settled, Portales would follow Moriarty, but because of their poor overall record, they actually ended up splitting 2-2 with Silver, Sandia Prep, and Wingate. West Las Vegas has Portales beat 3-2 without Member Input, but if Portales gets that point and ties it, Portales takes it with the H2H tiebreaker. I tried to avoid a mess and seed them with who I thought Member Input would best align them.
8. Wingate (At-Large/DRUP)
9. Sandia Prep (Auto/DC)
We could see these two teams swap places with Sandia Prep needing one more win to break free of the overall record tie with Wingate. Add point with Member Input and Sandia Prep could be hosting this one.
10. Socorro (At-Large/DRUP)
11. Hatch Valley (At-Large/D3P)
12. Navajo Prep (At-Large/D3P)
13. Pojoaque Valley (At-Large/D3P)
Pojoaque is a funny team to seed too. They could possibly jump as high as 8 or fall back as far as 13. But for most of these criteria matchups with Pojo it'll come down to the Member Input. In the case of Silver and Wingate, Pojoaque actually owns the H2H tiebreaker. If Pojoaque can get the point from Member Input, that'll force a 3-3 tie and the Elkettes will actually jump ahead of either of those teams. The only team that might force a 3-way tie here too is Sandia Prep, who own a 3-1 criteria point lead without Member Input against Pojoaque. Both teams split against the other, so it may come down to a Silver-Pojoaque-Sandia Prep resume breakdown from the seeding and selection committee.
14. St. Michael's (At-Large/D4P)
15. Santa Fe Indian (At-Large/DRUP)
16. Taos (At-Large/D5P)
Last note, Cobre is definitely on the outside looking in, but they're actually tied 2-2 with Taos without Member Input. It's a longshot for Cobre, but not impossible.
