Saturday felt like a real separation day in the ACC. Virginia and Clemson joined UNC and Dule as NCAA locks barring unforeseen collapses with wins from FSU and Syracuse. A slew of middle-of-the-pack ACC teams fell away. Virginia Tech took a crippling loss at Notre Dame. Syracuse couldn’t get a much-needed quality win over Clemson. …

Actual observers of the ACC knew it. The ACC was never a 2 or 3-bid league.  The reality didn’t match the hot takes or some of the bracketology nonsense.

In a game that should have solidified Clemson’s NCAA positioning, the Tigers came out flat, disinterested, and sloppy against Virginia. They rallied in the second half to give themselves a chance but ended up losing 66-65. Clemson is descending toward the bubble once again. This time if Clemson misses the NCAA tournament, I don’t think …
