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

15. Louisville (2-18, 0-9) NET Ranking 334

Last Week: 15

If Louisville is going to win an ACC game this year it will be against Notre Dame and/or Georgia Tech this week.

14. Georgia Tech (7-12, 1-9) NET Ranking 191

Last Week: 14

Georgia Tech has lost 6 games in a row, and 5 of them were by double digits. They are playing very much like they just want the season to end. If they lose at Louisville, send them to the bottom of the ACC Power Rankings.

13. Notre Dame (9-12, 1-9) NET Ranking 185

Last Week: 13

Notre Dame is a 1-point over Georgia Tech from not having a win this calendar year.

12. Boston College (10-11, 4-6) NET Ranking 196

Last Week: 11

Boston College is 3-0 against Notre Dame and Louisville so we know they are better than them.

11. Florida State (7-14, 5-5) NET Ranking 202

Last Week: 12

FSU had a stunning win at Pittsburgh, but the blowout to Miami brought them back to reality.

10. Virginia Tech (12-8, 2-7) NET Ranking 52

Last Week: 9

The win over Duke may have saved the Hokie’s season. Can they validate that victory with a win over Syracuse at home?

9. Syracuse (13-8, 6-4) NET Ranking 97

Last week: 10

If Syracuse could have finished off UNC, their season outlook could have been so much different. They need quality wins now. Virginia at home is a chance.

8. Wake Forest (14-7, 6-4) NET Ranking 70

Last Week: 8

Wake Forest can’t afford another week where they get swept. A split at worst is a must against NC State and Duke this week.

NCAA TOURNAMENT CUT LINE

————————————————————————————————

7. NC State (16-5, 6-4) NET Ranking 42

Last Week: 7

If NC State could sweep at Wake Forest and beat Florida State they would be in great NCAA shape going into February.

6. Pittsburgh (15-6, 7-3) NET Ranking 63

Last week:  5

Ok, Pittsburgh it’s simple. You need to beat Miami or UNC this week to stay on the NCAA bubble because the loss to FSU left a mark.

5. Duke (14-6, 5-4) NET Ranking 30

Last Week: 4

Duke is a pretty good team, but they have lost 3 of their last 4 on the road. They probably don’t have to worry much about their road game at Georgia Tech. Wake Forest is at home.

4. North Carolina (15-6, 7-3) NET Ranking 31

Last Week: 6

North Carolina is starting to show flashes of their #1 self. Can they run their win streak to 5 against Pittsburgh?

3. Miami (16-4, 7-3) NET Ranking 41

Last Week: 3

Miami looked like the Miami of old blowing away Florida State in Tallahassee. A game at Pittsburgh will not be easy and don’t sleep on Virginia Tech even at home.

2. Clemson (17-4, 9-1) NET Ranking 60

Last Week: 2

Even with an injury to their starting PG Chase Hunter, Clemson had a 2-0 week. They have tricky road games this week against FSU and Boston College.

1. Virginia  (15-3, 7-2) NET Ranking 14

Last Week: 1

Virginia is the ACC’s hottest team, and they are also the ACC’s best team.
