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.

We pull the RPI numbers from CBS Sportsline. 

Here is the ACC Tournament Bracket. 

(1) Virginia (28-2) (17-1) ACC Tournament Seed 1

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 1

Virginia doesn’t have to win a game to be a NCAA #1 seed

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 1 

I repeat, Virginia doesn’t have to win a game to be a NCAA #1 seed

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 1 

I repeat again, Virginia doesn’t have to win a game to be a NCAA #1 seed

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 1

For the last time, Virginia doesn’t have to win a game to be a NCAA #1 seed

(4) Duke (25-6) (13-5) ACC Tournament Seed 2

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 2 

Duke needs a bit of a ACCT run to move from the 2 line.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 2 

One win won’t do it it either.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 1/2

I think Duke getting to the ACCT Championship Game could earn them a #1 seed, but it will depend on games around the country.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 1

Trying keeping Duke off the 1 line, if they win the ACC Tournament.

(25) Miami (22-8) (11-7) ACC Tournament Seed 3

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 7 

0 ACCT wins and it is 7 seed for Miami.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 6 

Miami could face UNC in this round…

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 5

Now Miami is getting into protected territory.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4

A 4 seed is possible if Miami runs the table in Brooklyn.

(12) Clemson (22-8) (11-7) ACC Tournament Seed 4

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 5 

Clemson has quality non conference results, which should keep them from falling far.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 4 

Just 1 win here should give Clemson a top 4 seed.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 3

A 3 seed for Clemson? It could happen with a run to the Championship game.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 2

If Clemson wins the ACC Tourney, I could see them as a high as a 2 seed.

(55) NC State (21-10) (11-7) ACC Tournament Seed 5

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 10

NC State will make the big dance but, getting shut out at the ACC Tourney will leave them as a double digit seed.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 9

NC State needs a deep run to get out of the 8/9 game.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8

2 wins won’t be enough either.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

Getting to the finals will give the Wolfpack a 6 seed.

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 5

ACC Champs? Wolfpack get all the way to the 5 line.

(6) North Carolina (22-9) (11-7) – ACC Tournament Seed 6

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 5

This would be a 3 game losing streak for UNC.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 5

Each win move the Heels up a seed after this.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 4

Now UNC can really make a move up.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 3

Hot Heels earn a 3 seed now…

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 2

If UNC wins the ACC Title, they can go all they way up to the 2 line.

(51) Virginia Tech (21-10) (10-8) ACC Tournament Seed 7

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 10

Virginia Tech has a very similar profile to NC State, and could face Notre Dame with Bonzi Colson here.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 9

The dreaded 8/9 game.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7

Now the Hokies are moving towards the protected seeds.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

Buzz worked some magic here.

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 5

Like NC State winning the ACC gets the Hokies to the 5 seed.

(44) Florida State (20-10) (9-9) – ACC Tournament Seed 8

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 11

This could send FSU to the play in game.

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 9

Another dreaded 8/9 game.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8

Still stuck in the 8/9 game.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7

Now FSU is off the 8/9 line.

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

A 6 seed is as high as FSU can go.

(47) Louisville (19-12) (9-9) – ACC Tournament Seed 9

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: OUT

I don’t like Louisville’s NCAA chances if they don’t beat FSU

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 11

The Cards are dancing, but it is close.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 10

No worries here!

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8

Into the 8/9 game…

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 6

Win the ACC Tournament and Louisville could move as a high as a 6 seed.

(66) Notre Dame (18-13) (8-10) – ACC Tournament Seed 10

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

If the Irish could have that Miami home loss back…

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

Beating Pitt does nothing for a NCAA resume.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 11

Notre Dame sneaks in!

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 10

Lock city

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 8

From no NCAAs to an 8 seed…

Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7

The ACC Champs earn a 7 seed.

(42) Syracuse (19-12) (8-10) ACC Tournament Seed 11

Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

No chance for Syracuse

Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

Syracuse will need more than a Wake Forest win to get in the Big Dance.

Wins 2 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 11

A win over UNC would get Syracuse on the bubble and I think into the NCAAs.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 10

Syracuse is in for sure!

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 9

Orange working on seeding now.

Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 7

Another 7 seed ACC Champ

(100) Boston College (17-14) (7-11) ACC Tournament Seed 12

Win 0-3 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

Boston College needs a miracle run to the Championship game.

Win 4 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 11

Vanderbilt had 15 losses last year and got in.

Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 9

The auto bid gets BC in.

(147) Georgia Tech (13-18) (6-12) ACC Tournament Seed 13

Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

Georgia Tech has a chance to a couple of games here. Jackets playing decently to end the year.

Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 11

5 ACC Tourney wins and Georgia Tech is dancing!

(149) Wake Forest (11-19) (4-14) ACC Tournament Seed 14

Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

No NCAAs for Wake Forest without an ACC Title.

Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 12

Danny Manning is working on next year, and opening with Notre Dame is a terrible draw.

(210) Pittsburgh (8-23) (0-18) ACC Tournament Seed 15

Win 0-4 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – OUT

Are these Kevin Stallings last games at Pitt?

Win 5 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 14
