Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are even more damaging. I\u2019m not counting future results only if I think a team would make the NCAA\u2019s if selections were made the day of the post.<\/p>\n<p>Teams get a \u201c*\u201d for top 50 good wins or \u201c*\u201d greater than 150 losses.<\/p>\n<p>My RPI rankings come from,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/collegebasketball\/rankings\/rpi\/index1\">CBSSportsline.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams where I think they\u2019d placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a id=\"FALINK_3_0_2\" href=\"http:\/\/allsportsdiscussion.com\/2013\/01\/07\/acc-bubble-analysis-for-january-7-2013\/#\">Locks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(1) Duke (17-2) (4-2) Projected Seed 1<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last 10 \u2013 (8-2)<\/p>\n<p>Good Wins \u2013 * (11) Minnesota, * (13) Louisville, * (39) VCU, * (24) Ohio St, (56) Temple, (62) Kentucky, (85) Santa Clara, (65) Maryland<\/p>\n<p>Bad Losses -None<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notes \u2013 How much should Duke be penalized for one really bad game, against one of the country’s hottest teams in Miami.

Running through a way down SEC isn’t really saying much. Arizona? They lost by double digits at home this past week. Syracuse?\u00a0Louisville?
