We also take a guess at where the NCAA tournament cutline should be.
Stats come from https://www.warrennolan.com/
18. Georgia Tech (11-16, 2-12) NET 169, RPI 223
Last Week : 17
Georgia Tech has been a bad team all year, but now they don’t even look like they are competing anymore. A game at Louisville could get really ugly.
17. Pitt (9-17, 2-11) NET 126, RPI 174
Last week: 16
Pitt hasn’t played a single-digit game since January. They host Notre Dame and play at Stanford.
16. Boston College (9-17, 2-11) NET 156, RPI 224
Last Week: 15
It’s been a month since BC won a game, but at least they are showing some fight. They go to SMU and host Wake Forest this week.
15. Notre Dame (12-14, 3-10) NET 86, RPI 100
Last week: 18
Notre Dame’s win over Georgia Tech gives them a shot at making the ACC Tournament. That makes the game at Pitt really critical. There is also a game with Duke this week.
14. Wake Forest (14-12, 5-8) NET 58, RPI 71
Last Week: 14
Wake Forest has won 3 games in a row, and is playing like they should have all year. Could they sneak back into the NCAA picture, starting with a sweep at Virginia Tech and at Boston College?
13. Syracuse (15-12, 6-8) NET 72, RPI 82
Last week: 12
If Syracuse beats UNC this week, we’ll have to keep an eye on the Cuse still.
12. Stanford (16-10, 5-8) NET 71, RPI 64
Last Week: 10
If Stanford can sweep games at Cal and then Pittsburgh at home, their NCAA chances might still be alive, barely.
11. Florida State (13-13, 6-7) NET 84, RPI 96
Last Week: 13
FSU has come alive in recent weeks. They could very well win out and get to the fringes of the bubble, starting with a game at Clemson, then at home against Miami.
10. Virginia Tech (17-10, 6-8) NET 55, RPI 47
Last Week: 9
Virginia Tech has 4 losses by 3 points or less. That’s the difference between NIT and NCAA tournament. The Hokies play Wake Forest this week.
9. California (17-8, 6-7) NET 60, RPI 58
Last Week: 11
Until Cal gets above .500, you can’t put them in the NCAAs. This week is a must-sweep against Stanford and SMU.
——————————————- NCAA Cutline —————————————————————
8. Clemson (20-7, 10-4) NET 33, RPI 35
Last Week: 3
Clemson would be in the NCAA tournament if it were today, but 3 losses in a row have sent them tumbling towards the bubble. If Clemson loses to FSU at home, which is very possible, it will be time for a full-on panic.
7. SMU (18-8, 7-6) NET 31, RPI 27
Last Week: 7
SMU got a critical win over Louisville to stay on the right side of the bubble. This week is BC and then a game at Cal. SMU just needs to stay at .500 or better in the league.
6. Miami (21-5, 10-3) NET 37, RPI 54
Last Week: 8
Miami has won 4 games in a row, but this week will be tough with road games at Virginia and Florida State.
5. North Carolina (20-6, 8-5) NET 28, RPI 12
Last Week: 4
UNC needs to get Caleb Wilson to reach their potential. A game at Syracuse and at home with Louisville are this week.
4. NC State (19-8, 10-4) NET 26, RPI 31
Last Week: 6
NC State looked good against a depleted UNC team. The Wolfpack heads to Virginia and Notre Dame this week.
3. Louisville (19-7, 8-5) NET 14, RPI 24
Last Week: 5
SMU was a tough loss, but Louisville is playing well overall. Georgia Tech will be a breeze, but a game at UNC could be a lot of fun.
2. Virginia (23-3, 11-2) NET 16, RPI 21
Last Week: 2
If there are 13 better teams in the country than Virginia, I’d like to see them. Miami and NC State are at home this week.
1. Duke (24-2, 13-1) NET 2, RPI 2
Last Week: 1
The winner of Duke vs Michigan is your number 1 team in the country. I can’t wait for that game. Duke also heads to Notre Dame this week.
