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 44-9 (24-5) and UNC 43-9-1 (22-7) are going to be top 4 National Seeds. Can either get to that #1 overall seed? We’ll see if UCLA loses its series with Washington, where they have already lost the opener.
Florida State 38-15 (19-10) is in that 8-10 seed range and surging.
Wake Forest 38-17 (16-13) with an RPI of 16, still has a shot at hosting.
Boston College 36-19 (17-12) looks like a good bet for a 2 seed, despite Georgia Tech plastering them by a combined score of 23-1 in their opening 2 games this weekend.
Miami 35-17 (15-14) will make the field, but has no chance to host. They will be either a 2 or 3 seed.
Virginia 35-19 (14-15) 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 29-22 (15-14) RPI 37 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 31-21 (13-16) RPI 50, 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 with UNC is actually really important for the Wolfpack. It could be the difference between making the NCAA tournament or not.
