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.
Virginia (28-2) (16-2) ACC Tournament Seed 1
RPI – 3
NET RANKING – 2
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 (Wait a minute, this sounds exactly like last year)
North Carolina (26-5) (16-2) – ACC Tournament Seed 2
RPI – 5
NET RANKING – 6
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 2
UNC has no chance at #1 seed with a loss in the quarters.
Win 1 ACC Tournament Game : Projected NCAA Seed – 2
I think they’ll need more than 1 ACCT win for the 1 seed, but the Heels will still be under consideration.

Win 3 ACC Tournament Games : Projected NCAA Seed – 1

Duke (26-5) (14-4) ACC Tournament Seed 3
RPI – 2
NET RANKING – 3
Win 0 ACC Tournament Games: Projected NCAA Seed – 2
Duke needs a bit of a ACCT run to move from the 2 line. They have not managed their injuries well.
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
