Are we still looking at 7 teams getting a bid?

It is really going to be odd this year not seeing NCSU play in the first two rounds [unless we win the ACCT]

North Carolina 11-5 25-6 
Virginia 11-5 20-9 
Virginia Tech 10-6 20-10 
Boston College 10-6 19-10 
Maryland 10-6 24-7 
Georgia Tech 8-8 20-10 
Duke 8-8 22-9 
Clemson 7-9 21-9 
Florida State 7-9 19-11 
NC State 5-11 15-14 
Wake Forest 5-11 14-15 
Miami 4-12 11-19

i thought we were a lock

3/7/2007 1:02:39 PM

looking at 8 IMO

top 7 plus winner of fsu/clemson game

3/7/2007 1:03:30 PM

not with wright st beating butler last night

3/7/2007 1:10:05 PM

Clemson needs more than that. Their 21-9 might as well be 16-14 with the way they've been playing lately. FSU, yeah, one win will probably do. So I'll 7.5 teams at this point.

3/7/2007 1:10:24 PM

^^that takes away one spot, just one. probably missouri st's or something. I'd be pissed if the acc didn't get 8

LOL @ Herb

3/7/2007 1:46:22 PM

i think if FSU wins vs. Clemson, they're in...I think it will take two wins for Clemson to get in

3/7/2007 1:56:54 PM

a lot depends on the other conference tourneys over the next couple days and if regular season champs win their tournies in the small conferences

I just dont see 8 this year...the ACC is supposedly down this year but hey who knows...it will be interesting to see how the tourney selection committee deals with major vs midmajors this year based on the success of George Mason last year

3/7/2007 2:04:54 PM

there is absolutely no way the acc gets 8 teams

3/7/2007 2:14:42 PM

somebody will definately get shafted. with demarcus nelson out and a loss to state looking very possibly, i hope its not duke.

3/7/2007 2:16:49 PM

I wonder how the NCAA tournament would shape up for Duke if they lost tomorrow. I mean, if we won, what would happen to Duke?

[Edited on March 7, 2007 at 2:17 PM. Reason : It could happen.]

3/7/2007 2:17:08 PM

unless clemson wins atleast 3 games and fsu doesnt win any (maybe only 1), they probably won't get in.

butler lost last night, so now the horizon conference is going to get 2 teams in the tournament....thats gonig to kill a bubble team, and clemson is barely alive.

i cant see both fsu and clemson getting in...and right now, the edge is with fsu.

3/7/2007 2:18:18 PM

^^ duke is in no matter what, they played a really tough schedule and they have a few quality wins

3/7/2007 2:21:31 PM

^I know they are in no matter what. I'm just wondering what seed they would get?

3/7/2007 2:22:41 PM

probobly 8-9 seed

3/7/2007 2:22:57 PM

7 teams at most. I mean the edge goes to either team wins the Clemson FSU game. I cant see the Committee letting in a 7-10 ACC team, UNLESS the field of 64 is that wide open.

At first i saw NCAAT, and was totally lost. I was like A&T in the ACC?

I see Maryland going deep and improving the Overall #seed in the big dance. Duke will not make it out of the semi's, if not past us. hopefully.

3/7/2007 2:31:53 PM

digger phelps just brought up a (rare) good point on espn. the winner of FSU/Clemson plays Carolina and it would take a win over them for either clemson or florida state to get off the bubble

3/7/2007 2:33:48 PM

i'm just saying a team that is "definately in" gets left out every year and the big story is "o how did so and so get in over so and so. theres no way so and so should not be in." look at last year it was like they barely looked at rpi and losing the last 3 games to close out would make me uneasy especially if teams staeal some more auto bids or unc loses friday. I just don't see 8 acc teams making it. they always seem to give 1 or 2 bids less than we think should be in each year.

3/7/2007 2:35:33 PM

You guys thinking that duke might miss the tournament if we beat them tomorrow are dumbasses.

They are currently ranked #19 in the RPI.

I see 7 as a lock. the eighth would be tough but 2 wins by FSU or Clemson can do it.

   Cincinnati 2 14 .125 11 19 .367 

3/7/2007 3:37:36 PM

this is not a down year for the ACC, there is just more balance. ACC is the best conference. There are 7 locks, we know that much..

Clemson has an RPI of 36 which will only go up if you factor in a win over FSU and a loss to UNC

Also, Duke is something like a 6 seed now, losing will not bump them out of the tournament.

^Big East should get 8, the top 9 on that list minus depaul

we may get 8 teams in if a 9-12 seed wins the ACCT

3/7/2007 11:50:50 PM

i say 7 unless either fsu or clemson wins 2 games in the acc tourney

3/8/2007 12:59:55 AM
