At some point in the last 2 months, just about every single ACC team had a shot at the NCAA Tournament. With just a little bit over a week away until NCAA Selections are made, it’s becoming pretty clear where the teams from the ACC are likely headed.
Georgia Tech 45-9 (25-5) and UNC 43-10-1 (22-8) are going to be top 5 National Seeds. Can either get to that #1 overall seed? Georgia Tech is a lock for a top 3 seed, and UNC is right there too.
Florida State 38-16 (19-11) is in that 8-10 seed range and surging.
Wake Forest 38-18 (16-14) with an RPI of 16, still has a shot at hosting.
Boston College 36-20 (17-13) looks like a good bet for a 2 seed, despite Georgia Tech plastering them by a combined score of 38-3 in their 3 games this weekend.
Miami 35-18 (16-14) will make the field, but has no chance to host. They will be either a 2 or 3 seed.
Virginia 35-20 (14-16) is a tournament lock, but is going in the wrong direction.
Stanford, Notre Dame, Louisville, Pittsburgh, California, Clemson, and Duke have no chance at the NCAA tournament without a miracle ACC Tournament run.
Now this is where it gets tricky.
Virginia Tech 29-23 (15-15) RPI 47 is a very good spot, but maybe not quite a lock. I’d like to see the Hokies get a 30th win, but I think they are probably in no matter what.
NC State 32-21 (14-16) RPI 42, and in the last month is 6-9. The series with UNC could lock them in or put them on the wrong side of the bubble. The series finale win UNC was actually a really important win for the Wolfpack. It could be the difference between making the NCAA tournament or not.
