January 15, 2025 ACC Basketball Power Rankings

We’ll add RPI Rankings when we have more data points. We also take a guess at where the NCAA tournament cutline should be.

Stats come from https://www.warrennolan.com/

18. Boston College (7-10, 0-4) NET 181, RPI 235

Last Week: 18

Could Boston College go winless in the ACC? Syracuse and Pitt are at home this week.

17. Georgia Tech (10-7, 1-3) NET 164, RPI 192

Last Week : 15

Georgia Tech has lost 3 straight double digit games. I see two more losses in their future with a road game against NC State and a game at home to Clemson.

16. Florida State (7-10, 0-4) NET 134, RPI 177

Last Week: 17

FSU isn’t going anywhere this year, but they’ve shown flashes of being decent. They are going to upset somebody soon and it might be Wake Forest, but I doubt they can get Miami on the road.

15. Pitt (8-9, 1-3) NET 101, RPI 118

Last week: 16

Pitt is like FSU. They aren’t going anywhere, but they’ve shown flashes of being decent as well. Louisville and a road game at BC are this week.

14. Notre Dame (10-7, 1-3) NET 72, RPI 66

Last week: 14

Notre Dame is just about finished. Road games with Virginia Tech and UNC are upcoming.

13. Wake Forest (10-7, 1-3) NET 59, RPI 71

Last Week: 12

Wake Forest has lost 4 of their last 5 games. They are pretty much playing spoiler now. A game at FSU, and then a home with SMU is this week.

12. California  (12-5, 1-4) NET 69, RPI 78

Last Week: 7

Three losses in a row have dropped Cal off the NCAA radar. UNC at home is a must-win.

11. Syracuse (12-5, 3-1) NET 60, RPI 87

Last week: 13

Syracuse is slowly moving towards the bubble. If they sweep Boston College and Virginia Tech, we can start a serious NCAA discussion.

10. Virginia Tech (13-5, 2-3) NET 55, RPI 29

Last Week: 9

Virginia Tech has been so snakebit late in games, and it may cost them an NCAA bid. They need a sweep of Notre Dame and their game at Syracuse.

——————————————- NCAA Cutline —————————————————————

9. Stanford  (14-4, 3-2) NET 65, RPI 30

Last Week: 10

Stanford is 6-2 against the Q1/Q2, and just beat UNC. Duke is this week.

8. NC State (12-5, 3-1) NET 29, RPI 55

Last Week: 11

NC State has crept inside the bubble. They host Georgia Tech, which is layup, then go to Clemson.

7. Louisville (12-5, 2-3) NET 21, RPI 45

Last Week 4

Louisville has lost 3 of its last 4 games and is slipping towards the bubble. A game at Pitt and a home game with Virginia Tech make for a critical week.

6. North Carolina (14-3, 2-2) NET 30, RPI 20

Last Week: 2

North Carolina’s defense is a complete mess. They go to California and host Notre Dame this week.

5. SMU  (13-4, 2-2) NET 32, RPI 12

Last Week: 6

SMU’s Boopie Miller might have the shot of the year with the half-court game-winner over Virginia Tech. Virginia at home is another big one. There is also a game at Wake Forest this week.

4. Miami (15-2, 4-0)  NET 31, RPI 51

Last Week: 8

Can Miami’s surge continue with a visit to Clemson and a home game with FSU? A sweep will put them in the top 25.

3. Clemson (15-3, 5-0) NET 26, RPI 25

Last Week: 5

Clemson is playing great basketball. Miami and NC State are at home, but will be tests.

2. Virginia  (15-2, 4-1) NET 14, RPI 21

Last Week: 3

Is Virginia on a roll or what? A game at SMU will feel like a NCAA tournament battle.

1. Duke (16-1, 5-0) NET 3, RPI 4

Last Week: 1

Duke cruised at California, and now gets a red-hot Stanford team on the road.
