ACC Basketball Power Rankings with NCAA Analysis 1/31/2020

 

For Current RPI Rankings and Quadrant Wins http://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2020/rpi-live

This where I see each ACC teams’ NCAA Chances. On Sundays we post Bracket Projections from several sports sites.

1. Louisville (18-3, 9-1) Projected NCAA Seed 2

Louisville is back on top in the ACC, and eyeing a NCAA #1 seed.

2. Duke (17-3, 7-2) Projected NCAA Seed 2

Duke has a very tricky game at Syracuse Saturday. If they beat Syracuse and BC this week, Duke’s own shot at #1 NCAA seed is back in play.

3. Florida State (17-3, 7-2) Projected NCAA Seed 3

FSU slipped at UVA. They can’t slip at Virginia Tech or they risk losing pace with Louisville and Duke.

4. Virginia (14-6, 6-4) Projected NCAA Seed 9

Virginia got a monster win over FSU. Now they need to keep the momentum, and stay above .500 in the ACC.

NCAA Cut Line


5. Syracuse (13-8, 6-4) 

Syracuse dropped a game at Clemson, but if they beat Duke they will right back in the NCAA picture.

6. Clemson (11-9, 5-5)

Clemson has become a NCAA caliber team when at home. Now they need to take it on the road.

7. North Carolina State (14-7, 5-5) 

NC State is too talented to have fallen this far. They need a sweep this week of Louisville and Miami.

8. Virginia Tech (14-7, 5-5) 

The Hokies have dropped 3 of their last 4 and out of NCAA consideration.

9. Pittsburgh (13-8, 4-6) 

If Pittsburgh could get a sweep of Miami and Notre Dame, that would get them to .500 in the ACC. Then they can think about the Big Dance.

10. North Carolina (10-10, 3-6)

UNC is starting to play much better, and now Cole Anthony is about to return. The UNC are becoming a very dangerous team.

11. Notre Dame (12-8, 3-6)

If Notre Dame can win both winnable home games with Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh, they’ll earn a closer look.

12. Georgia Tech (10-11, 4-6)

Georgia Tech occasionally looks like a decent basketball team.

13. Miami (11-9, 3-7)

Miami played spoiler against Virginia Tech. Can they do it against Pitt or NC State this week?

14. Boston College (10-11, 4-6)

Another lost season at Boston College.

15. Wake Forest (9-11, 2-8)

Wake Forest has lost 6 of their last 7. In other words a typical season under Danny Manning.
