ACC Basketball Power Rankings (January 19, 2022)

ACC Team of the Week : Wake Forest with wins over Boston College and Clemson

NET Rankings are from – https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2022/net

15. Louisville (2-17, 0-8) NET Ranking 342

Last Week: 15

For a minute it looked like Louisville was improving then they took a couple of 20 point home losses. Could they win at Boston College?

14. Georgia Tech (7-10, 1-7) NET Ranking 162

Last Week: 14

That’s 4 losses in a row and counting for Georgia Tech. They aren’t winning at Clemson, but could they play spoiler at home against Syracuse?

13. Notre Dame (9-10, 1-7) NET Ranking 180

Last Week: 13

Notre Dame is so bad, but Boston College is a shot at another ACC win. Mike Brey is retiring at the end of the season. You hope the Irish can send him out with a few more wins.

12. Boston College (8-11, 2-5) NET Ranking 216

Last Week: 11

Boston College won’t have better chances to get two ACC wins than this week against  Notre Dame and Louisville.

11. Florida State (6-13, 4-4) NET Ranking 207

Last Week: 12

Florida State is 4-0 against Louisville, Norte Dame and Georgia Tech. Can they actually beat a decent ACC team?

10. Virginia Tech (11-7, 1-6) NET Ranking 59

Last Week: 9

Virginia Tech is much better than their record, but at 1-6 in the league time is running out.

9. Syracuse (12-7, 5-3) NET Ranking 108

Last week: 10

Syracuse is a true wild card in the ACC. If they could win at Georgia Tech and knock off UNC at home,  that’s the bubble on the horizon.

NCAA TOURNAMENT CUT LINE

————————————————————————————————

8. Wake Forest (14-5, 6-2) NET Ranking 70

Last Week: 8

Wake Forest is finally playing to their potential, but it is a monster week ahead with Virginia and Pittsburgh. Can the Deacs at least get a split?

7. NC State (15-4, 5-3) NET Ranking 25

Last Week: 7

The Wolfpack are red-hot. How fun will the game with North Carolina be?

6. North Carolina (13-6, 5-3) NET Ranking 36

Last Week: 6

North Carolina has won 4 of their last 5, but they still have room to grow. They host NC State in a huge game Saturday.

5. Pittsburgh (13-6, 6-2) NET Ranking 52

Last week:  5

Winning at Georgia Tech and Louisville was expected for Pitt. Pittsburgh needs to keep the momentum going with FSU and Wake Forest at home.

4. Duke (13-5, 4-3) NET Ranking 26

Last Week: 4

Can Duke find a way to start hitting from 3? The inability to hit perimeter shot is keeping their ceiling lower than it should be. It’s a huge week for Duke hosting Miami and playing at Virginia Tech.

3. Miami (15-3, 6-2) NET Ranking 41

Last Week: 3

Miami has been struggling on the road a bit recently. Will they right the ship at Duke and at FSU?

2. Clemson (15-4, 7-1) NET Ranking 60

Last Week: 2

Clemson finally took a loss at Wake Forest, but that was without PG Chase Hunter. The Tigers can’t sleep on Virginia Tech Saturday.

1. Virginia  (14-3, 6-2) NET Ranking 14

Last Week: 1

Virginia has a major test at Wake Forest this weekend, but the offense is starting to resemble the November version.
