Way-Too-Early Prediction
1. Cleveland (District 1 Champ has been the 1-seed in back to back years)
2. Clovis (District 2 Champ has been the 2-seed in back to back years)
3. Las Cruces (District 3 Champ will need to go perfect in district play, LC can do that).
4. Rio Rancho (District Runner Up has occupied this spot the last two years)
5. La Cueva (District 2 RUP rarely this high but with the way the schedule will be I could see the RUP going here)
6. Centennial (The Hawks seem to be in a rebuild but normally just reload so a DIII Runner Up could get them a 6-seed)
7. Eldorado (Race to getting three teams in this season; Eldorado has the talent to get the third place finish in this district and lock up an at-large)
8. Cibola (Can they beat out the Hawks this season for a third place finish? District 1 will most certainly get three teams in)
