How the 2021 ACC Tournament could affect NCAA seedings.

The ACC Tournament is going play a major role in where the ACC Teams end up in the NCAA Tournament. Let’s take a look where an ACC team could end up based on how many games they win.

 

NET Rankings from  http://warrennolan.com/

Virginia (17-6) (13-4) ACC Tournament Seed 1

The ACC regular season champion is a 5 seed? That’s something you never thought you’d see.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 4

Two wins probably isn’t enough to move Virginia off the 4 line.
