The ACC Tournament is going play a major role in where the ACC Teams end up in the NCAA Tournament. Let’s take a look where an ACC team could end up based on how many games they win.

 

NET Rankings from  http://warrennolan.com/

Virginia (17-6) (13-4) ACC Tournament Seed 1

NET RANKING – 13

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 5

The ACC regular season champion is a 5 seed? That’s something you never thought you’d see.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 4 

Protected seed territory starts with a win.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4 

Two wins probably isn’t enough to move Virginia off the 4 line.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 3

If Uva can win the ACC tournament they could all the way to a 3 seed.

Florida State (15-5) (11-4) – ACC Tournament Seed 2

NET RANKING – 22

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 5

Florida State really faded down the stretch. 0 ACC Tournament wins would drop all the way to a 5 seed.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 4 

The Noles seed potential will look a lot like Virginia’s

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4 

FSU still can’t get off 4 line.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 3

Hard to believe the highest an ACC team can go is a 3 seed. That’s what FSU’s sloppy finish did.

Virginia Tech (15-5) (9-4)  ACC Tournament Seed 3

NET RANKING – 43

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 8

Virginia Tech is ranked but their computer numbers have them pretty far down.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 7 

The Hokies need a win to get out of the dreaded 8/9 game.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

The Hokies moving up the seeding board.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4

An ACC Tournament title, would validate the Hokies to a top 4 seed.

Georgia Tech (15-8) (11-6) – ACC Tournament Seed 4

NET RANKING – 38

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 11

Georgia Tech’s surging finish keeps them out of the First Four no matter what.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 10

The Jackets are a dangerous double digit seed.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8 

A trip to the ACC finals lands Georgia Tech in the 8/9 game.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

Georgia Tech needs a healthy Jose Alvarado to make this kind of run.

Clemson (16-6) (10-6) ACC Tournament Seed 5

NET RANKING – 36

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 7

I’m starting Clemson where I think the committee puts them. Their resume is closer to a 4/5 seed.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

Not much value beating the bottom of the ACC.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 5

A 5 seed is where Clemson should really be starting.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 5

I just can’t see the committee moving Clemson past a 5 seed without a tournament title.

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4

A 4 seed would still be nice reward for Clemson.

North Carolina (16-9) (10-6) ACC Tournament Seed 6

NET RANKING – 39

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 11

The Heels should be able to avoid a first four game even without any ACC Tournament wins.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 10

A 10 seed North Carolina is still dangerous.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 9

The 8/9 game – hope it’s not Gonzaga’s bracket.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7

Off the 8/9 line!

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

Like Georgia Tech a 6 seed is UNC’s ceiling.

Louisville (13-6) (8-5) – ACC Tournament Seed 7

I wrestled if Louisville makes the field without an ACC Tournament win. I don’t think so.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 11

Louisville is safely in now.
