Here’s one last look where we think the ACC Teams will land in the NCAA Tournament.
We pull the RPI numbers from CBS Sportsline.
Virginia (29-3) (16-2) Projected NCAA Seed – 1
RPI – 3
NET RANKING – 1
Notes – Virginia will be a 1 seed, but did Duke take the number 1 overall seed?
Duke (29-5) (14-4) Projected NCAA Seed – 1
RPI – 1
NET RANKING – 3
Notes – Duke goes from a 2 seed to a 1 seed with the ACC Tournament Title.
North Carolina (27-6) (16-2) – Projected NCAA Seed – 1
RPI – 4
NET RANKING – 7
Notes – Should a 1 point loss to Duke, drop UNC from a 1 seed to a 2? The Heels have 3 wins over likely 1 seeds – two over Duke and one over Gonzaga. They could also take Gonzaga’s 1 seed out West.
Florida State (27-7) (13-5) – Projected NCAA Seed – 3
RPI – 11
NET RANKING – 15
Notes – FSU could land at the 4 line, but that win over Virginia was really impressive.
Virginia Tech (24-8) (12-6) Projected NCAA Seed – 5
RPI – 27
NET RANKING – 11
Notes – Is Justin Robinson ready to go? The Hokies protected a good seeding while waiting for him to return.
Louisville (20-13) (10-8) – ACC Tournament Seed – 8
RPI – 32
NET RANKING – 21
Notes – Louisville would be a very difficult matchup for any of the #1 seeds. They’ve proved they can play with them. It’s closing the games out that’s been the problem.
Syracuse (20-13) (10-8) Projected NCAA Seed – 10
RPI – 39
NET RANKING – 43
Notes – It would be so much better for Syracuse to be a 7 or 10 seed and avoid that 8/9 game.
NC State (22-11) (9-9) Projected NCAA Seed – Last Four In
RPI – 96
NET RANKING – 34
Notes – If we’re still using the RPI, NC State would be out. We’re not though and they are going to squeeze in.
Clemson (19-13) (9-9) Projected NCAA Seed – NIT 1 seed
RPI – 61
NET RANKING – 35
Notes – Too many bid steals, and 0-2 against fellow bubble team NC State. Clemson has to pray the NET rankings are heavily used by the committee.
