The 2016 all-state football teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches across the state.
Players were placed onto the first-team, second-team and honorable mention based upon the number of votes they received. In 5A-1A, spots were reserved for linemen and one kicker/punter, while 8-man reserved spots for linemen.
CHSAA does not determine who makes or doesn’t make the team; they are created entirely from the results of the coaches’ vote.

Class 5A
(Kai Casey/CHSAANow.com)
Player of the year: Dylan McCaffrey, Valor Christian
Each of the three classes begin the playoffs this coming weekend. The quarterfinals are Nov. 10-12, the semifinals are Nov. 17-19, and the championship game will be Nov. 26. All games will be at home sites.
The fields were set with help from the final RPI standings. Committees then seeded the fields.
La Junta heads the 2A field. The Tigers are unbeaten at 9-0, including wins over five 2A playoff teams. They will open by hosting No. 16 University.
Also seeded highly are No. 2 Resurrection Christian, No. 3 The Classical Academy, No. 4 Sterling, No. 5 Bayfield, No. 6 Kent Denver, No. 7 Faith Christian and No. 8 Basalt.
Bayfield is the defending 2A champion.
In 1A, Meeker (9-0) is also unbeaten as the No. 1 seed. The Cowboys will host No. 16 Ellicott in the first round.
Other top seeds in 1A include, No. 2 Strasburg, No. 3 Paonia, No. 4 Bennett, No. 5 Peyton, No. 6 Burlington, No. 7 Crowley County, No. 8 Monte Vista.
Defending champion Buena Vista is seeded 14th.
Sedgwick County is the No. 1 seed in 8-man. (Jack Eberhard/JacksActionShots.com)
Sedgwick County (8-1) leads the 8-man field. The defending champion Cougars’ lone loss came to Perkins County (Neb.), and they will host No. 16 McClave in the first round.
Also seedly highly are No. 2 Sargent, No. 3 Akron, No. 4 Hoehne, No. 5 Norwood, No. 6 Pikes Peak Christian, No. 7 West Grand and No. 8 Granada.
Fossil Ridge is making a case to be considered as a top team in the state after jumping to No. 2 in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings this week.
The SaberCats are winners of three-straight and will conclude regular season play this week when they travel to the Cheyenne Mountain tournament this weekend.
Mountain Vista made a two-spot jump this week after wins over Chaparral and Highlands Ranch last week.
Fruita Monument is the only new team to join the 5A poll, coming in at No. 10.
After a clean sweep of Cheyenne Mountain in the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference title game, Lewis-Palmer remains the No. 1 team in 4A.
The top of the 4A rankings certainly have a different look as Pueblo West jumps three spots to No. 2 and Eagle Valley (No. 4) and Montrose (No. 5) each jumped four spots to land in the top five.
Berthoud is the lone newcomer in 4A at No. 10.
In 3A, Eaton still sits atop the rankings while University hung on to its spot at No. 2.
St. Mary’s (No. 8) and Delta (No. 10) are the two new teams to break into the 3A poll.
Dayspring Christian still sits at No. 1 in the 2A, but it was the Colorado Springs School that made a noticeable jump, going from No. 4 to No. 2 heading into the final week of the regular season.
At No. 10, West Grand is the only new team in the 2A rankings.
Like all other classes this week, 1A saw the No. 1 spot go unchanged as Fleming held its ground.
Flagler (No. 4) and McClave (No. 5) did gain some ground on the top teams as both teams jumped two spots from a week ago.
Kiowa is the lone newcomer to the 1A poll, coming in at No. 8.

It’s Dayspring Christian’s week to shine in the Class 2A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings.
Powered by sweeps over Gilpin County and Dawson, the Eagles are the new No. 1 team in the rankings. They are the only new No. 1 team in any class this week.
Paonia, who sat at No. 1 a week ago, dropped only one spot to No. 2.
Yuma made a noticeable jumping, gaining three spots to land at No. 3. There were no new teams in the 2A poll this week.
Rock Canyon held its spot as the top team in 5A, but it was Arapahoe, not Fossil Ridge, coming in at No. 2. The Sabercats dropped one spot to land at No. 3.
Loveland was the lone newcomer in 5A, joining the rankings at No. 10.
Lewis-Palmer and Cheyenne Mountain remained at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in this week’s 4A poll.
The two traditional volleyball powers will face-off Thursday in a game that will in all likelihood decide the Pikes Peak Athletic Conference Championship.
Montrose jumped into the 4A poll at No. 9, the only newcomer this week.
Like 5A and 4A, the top team in the 3A poll went unchanged as Eaton holds a firm grip on that spot.
Valley made the big jump this week to land at No. 3, two spots better than last week’s rankings.
Pagosa Springs (No. 9) and Coal Ridge (No. 10) were the two newcomers to the 3A poll.
Fleming hung on to the No. 1 spot in 1A with Kit Carson still biting its heels at No. 2.
Weldon Valley (No. 4) and Nucla (No. 5) each gained a spot from a week ago.
There were no new teams in the 1A poll.

It’s not going to be easy to knock Eaton off its perch as the top team in the Class 3A CHSAANow.com volleyball rankings, but University is certainly making moves with those hopes.
The Bulldogs jumped to No. 2 in the rankings this week and are one of only four teams to even take a set from the Reds.
Bayfield also jumped up in this week’s poll, coming in at No. 7 which is two spots better than their previous ranking.
No new teams broke into the 3A poll this week.
Rock Canyon remains the No. 1 team in the 5A poll, but Arapahoe is certainly gaining attention as the Warriors jump to No. 3 this week. They were sitting at No. 6 a week ago, but going 2-0 – including a win over Cherry Creek – certainly helped in their leap.
Fairview is the lone addition to the 5A rankings, landing at No. 10.
A still undefeated Lewis-Palmer team hangs on to the No. 1 spot in 4A with a unanimous vote.
Cheyenne Mountain and Valor Christian also held on to their positions at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.
Pueblo West has continued to play well and jumped two spots to land at No. 4.
Thomas Jefferson (No. 9) and D’Evelyn (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 4A poll.
Paonia is still the No. 1 team in 1A with Dayspring Christian still sitting firm at No. 2.
There is a new No. 3 team, however, as the Colorado Springs School jumped two spots from last week’s rankings.
There are two new teams in the 2A poll this week as Fowler breaks in at No. 9 and John Mall comes in at No. 10.
Like all other classes, the No. 1 spot in 1A went unchanged as Fleming still sits on top of the poll.
La Veta jumped to No. 3 this week after improving to 16-0 on the season.
Otis (No. 9) and Prairie (No. 10) are the two new teams in the 1A poll.
