6A FOOTBALL
Projected District Champs
Cleveland
La Cueva
Centennial
Scoop: We get to find one of these answers out this weekend with La Cueva taking on Eldorado. It's most likely that one becomes the DC of 2-6A. Cleveland and Rio Rancho will do battle for 1-6A but both are likely the 1-2 seed. Centennial is the favorite and heating up but D 3-6A is unknown for the most part.
At-Large Locks
Rio Rancho
Cibola
Eldorado
Las Cruces
Scoop: Rio Rancho, is a top-2 seed. Cibola and Eldorado are locks. Eldorado more of a lock as they are most likely finishing as a DC or DRUP, we will know that answer at the end of the week. Cibola still has Volcano Vista looking to make an upset. Las Cruces is coming off a nice resume win over Mayfield (potential DC) but they dropped games to Cibola, La Cueva and Cleveland that could have them in the Work Left to Do. They have several teams looking to upset them - Hobbs, Carlsbad, and Organ Mountain - now that district play starts.
Work Left to Do
Hobbs
Carlsbad
Volcano Vista
Santa Fe
Scoop: Teams could still could drop to the OUT group but for today they are IN. Santa Fe will need to finish above Clovis and Sandia to stay here. Volcano Vista has yet to win a resume game but should be fine. Hobbs has a resume win (Lovington-DC) and a quality win over Roswell but they've dropped the last two and will need to finish third, at least, in order to get the 8. Carlsbad has a potential resume win over Artesia but have lost the last two games and face a tough challenge with Las Cruces to open district this week. A win there could shake it up.
Bubble Plus One
Clovis
Organ Mountain
West Mesa
Scoop: Clovis has to be here until they get a win. Organ Mountain will need to upset Carlsbad or Hobbs in order to be the fifth team taken from District 3-6A. West Mesa will float around hoping Organ Mountain stays fifth and/or Clovis falls to one two of the three - Santa Fe, Sandia, Manzano.

#4 Centennial
#5 Cibola vs #12 Clovis

#7 Belen vs #10 Deming
#8 Santa Teresa vs #9 Piedra Vista
Next IN: Capital, Valley
Match-ups to Watch
Capital vs Miaymura
Belen vs Valley
Santa Teresa vs Deming
Scoop: All three games are playoff/seed games. For Valley, Capital, and Miyamura they'll play for a playoff spot as we enter district play. Santa Teresa and Deming are playing for a home playoff game. Belen is in position to host a first round game with two seed game wins (PV, Capital) and could go into the playoffs winning 6 of their final 7 games.

Projected District Finish (current record)
District 1-3A: Navajo Prep (4-2), Tohatchi (4-2), Zuni (2-3), Newcomb (1-4)
District 2-3A: St. Michael's (4-1), Robertson (5-1), West Las Vegas (5-0), Raton (6-0), SFIS (5-1)

District 5-3A: Thoreau (2-2), Cuba (2-3), Crownpoint (2-3), Wingate (0-3)
Week 7 Bracket

#2 Socorro
#3 Robertson
#4 West Las Vegas
#5 Hope Christian vs #12 Thoreau
#6 Raton vs #11 Hatch Valley
#7 NMMI vs #10 Navajo Prep
#8 Dexter vs #9 Cobre
How Did We Get Here: The final bid is up for grabs, maybe final two spots. We projected Hatch Valley moving above others after district play but needs some help - Tohatchi could steal a bid from what is typically a one bid league. SFIS and Tucumcari both still in the conversation and we will keep an eye on their Freeman Rating number. Right now 5-points separates the three, if Hatch beats Hot Springs out for the third slot in that district and SFIS or Tucumcari can't earn a district win, it could effect things. The top-six bids are locks, now we just wait out district play to see in which order. Raton-WLV in week 7 will move things around for next week.

Escalante: Right now could push another out, like Capitan or another at-large, but also will battle with Estancia for the DC. Escalante is actually ranked higher but we predicted.
Clayton: In a tough spot for a good team but will need to beat one of the other two in this three team district (4-2A with Texico and Santa Rosa)
