The ACC Tournament is going to play a major role in where the ACC Teams end up in the NCAA Tournament. Let’s take a look at where an ACC team could end up based on how many games they win. Alot will depend on those bid stealers elsewhere too.
LET’S HOOP. 🏀

NET Rankings from http://warrennolan.com/
Miami (24-6) (15-5) ACC Tournament Seed 1
NET RANKING – 35
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 6
Yea losing to Syracuse or Wake Forest would not be good for that seeding.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 5
I’m not sure a 5 or 4 seed makes much difference for the Canes.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4
See above
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 3
Due to a Net of 35, I don’t think Miami can get to the 2 line, but a 3 is possible.
Virginia (24-6) (15-5) – ACC Tournament Seed 2
NET RANKING – 30
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 6
Virginia’s done enough OOC they can’t drop lower than the 6 line. Desperate UNC could loom here.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 5/4
Virgina’s slightly better NET Ranking gives them a possible seed advantage with the same result as Miami.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4/3
Make the ACCT Finals and it’s a top 4 seed.
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 3/2
I think a 27-6 Virginia ACC CHampion, could reach the 2 line, but they’ll need quite a bit of help elsewhere.
Clemson (22-9) (14-6) ACC Tournament Seed 3
NET RANKING – 61
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – Play In
If Clemson goes winless in the ACC Tournament, I think they’ll still make the field, but barely. If you’re projected for the Play In, you better win a game.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 10
One win should seal it for Clemson.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 9/8
If Clemson gets to the ACCT finals, look for them in the 9/8 game.
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7
An ACC Tournament title, would probably get Clemson to a 7 seed. That’s probably as high as they can go.
Duke (23-8) (14-6) – ACC Tournament Seed 4
NET RANKING – 24
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 8
Duke is surging, but a winless ACCT may drop them to an 8 seed.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 7
Winning 1 ACCT game, lifts Duke at out of the 8/9 game.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 5
A run to the finals, and Duke is getting near protected seed territory.
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4
Would anyone want to play an ACC Champion Duke on a 9 game winning streak?
Pittsburgh (21-10) (14-6) ACC Tournament Seed 5
NET RANKING – 55
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
A Pittsburgh team that loses its last 3 games, including a loss to FSU or Georgia Tech in the ACCT? I don’t like their chances.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 10
Beating FSU or Georgia Tech won’t do much for seeding, but it avoids the devastating computer metric loss. That should get Pitt in.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8
Now the Panthers can work on seeding.
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7
Getting the ACCT finals would be so special for this program.
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6
Could an ACC Title really happen?
North Carolina State (22-9) (12-8) ACC Tournament Seed 6
NET RANKING – 41
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – Play In
NC State’s NET Ranking gives them an edge on Pitt, but I’d still advise winning an ACCT game.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 10
NC State should be able to handle the winner of Virginia Tech or Notre Dame.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 9
A Clemson NC State matchup would obviously have big NCAA Implications.
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7
Off the 8/9 line!
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6
A 6 seed for NC State is probably the ceiling.
North Carolina (19-12) (11-9) – ACC Tournament Seed 7
NET RANKING – 49
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
I don’t think UNC is in as bad of shape as some think, but lose to Boston College or Louisville and they have no chance.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – Play In
A 20 win North Carolina may just sneak in, but they might need more.
Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 10
You just beat Virginia for the 2nd time? Welcome to the dance North Carolina.
Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8
Greensboro would be rocking if UNC made the Finals.
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7
Just win 4 straight UNC, and don’t sweat Selection Sunday.
Syracuse (17-14) (10-10) ACC Tournament Seed 8
NET RANKING – 127
Win 0-3 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
The NET is too much to overcome for Syracuse even if they get to the ACCT Finals.
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 10
ACC Champion Syracuse headed to the NCAAs.
NC State (18-13) (10-10) ACC Tournament Seed 9
NET RANKING – 90
Win 0-3 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
Wake Forest may sniff the bubble if they get to the finals, but they just finished too poorly losing 4 of their last 5.
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 10
What a run this would be…
Boston College (15-16) (9-11) ACC Tournament Seed 10
NET RANKING – 166
Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
BC is thinking NIT, not NCAAs without a title.
Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 12
Boston College looked like a deep darkhorse until Quinten Post hurt his ankle. BC needs him to have a shot to make a run now.
Virginia Tech (18-13) (8-12) ACC Tournament Seed 11
NET RANKING – 69
Win 0-3 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
Virginia Tech has just too many ACC losses despite a decent NET Ranking.
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – Play In
OK a Virginia Tech team that is 22-14 and a NET in the 50s, could they sneak in? Maybe just maybe…
Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 9
Could the Hokies really defend their title? Their women already have got their ACCT title.
Florida State (9-22) (7-13) ACC Tournament Seed 12
NET RANKING – 222
Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
FSU has needed to win the ACCT to make the NCAAs since December.
Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 14
FSU winning an ACC Title wouldn’t even be the biggest surprise in the ACC.
Georgia Tech (12-17) (6-14) ACC Tournament Seed 13
NET RANKING – 176
Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
Georgia Tech comes in playing the best of the double-digit seeds.
Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 14
Um… I don’t think so, but what if?
Notre Dame (11-20) (3-17) ACC Tournament Seed 14
NET RANKING – 186
Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
Can Notre Dame send Mike Brey out with a little ACCT run? Probably not.
Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 14
Let’s not get carried away.
Louisville (4-27) (2-18) – ACC Tournament Seed 15
NET RANKING – 312
Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT
If there is a worse ACC team in the conference’s history, I don’t know it.
Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 15
So you’re saying there’s a chance? No…
