What Would The ACC Tournament Bracket Look Like Today?
We are less than one month away from the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, NC and the standings keep shuffling each week. Some big games are on deck for this weekend, starting tonight with Miami visiting North Carolina tonight and then a matchup between Duke and Syracuse later this week.
Here are the current ACC Standings at the start of this week.
Full ACC Basketball Standings
1. Pitt (11-3)
2. Virginia (11-3)
3. Miami (11-4)
4. Clemson (10-4)
5. NC State (10-5)
6. Wake Forest (9-6)
7. Duke (8-6)
8. North Carolina (8-6)
9. Syracuse (8-6)
10. Boston College (6-9)
11. Florida State (6-9)
12. Virginia Tech (5-9)
13. Notre Dame (2-12)
14. Georgia Tech (2-12)
15. Louisville (1-13)
As you can see at the top, there is a lot of competition to see who will be the top seed. Pitt and Virginia are all tied up at the top, with Miami close behind. Clemson was all alone at the top of the conference but is no longer there after their recent three-game losing streak. It is not the only spot in the standings that is up for grabs though. Duke, North Carolina, and Syracuse are tied at 8-6, with Wake Forest only a half-game ahead of them at 9-6.
So would the ACC Tournament look like if it started today?
The first group of games would be held on March 7th and they would be between the teams 10-15 in the standings. Those games currently would be:
1. Boston College (10) vs Louisville (15)
2. Florida State (11) vs Georgia Tech (14)
3. Virginia Tech (12) vs Notre Dame (13)
Teams 5-9 receive a first-round bye and right now those teams are NC State, Wake Forest, Duke, North Carolina, and Syracuse. Here is how the second round would line up on March 8th:
1. North Carolina (8) vs Syracuse (9)
2. NC State (5) vs Virginia Tech/Notre Dame
3. Wake Forest (6) vs Florida State/Georgia Tech
4. Duke (7) vs Boston College/Louisville
Teams seeded 1-4 will get a "double-bye" and not have to play until Thursday. Those teams as of right now are Pitt, Virginia, Miami, and Clemson. Here is how the quarterfinals would line up:
1. Pitt (1) vs UNC/Syracuse
2. Virginia (2) vs Duke/Boston College/Louisville
3. Miami (3) vs Wake Forest/Florida State/Georgia Tech
4. Clemson (4) vs NC State/Virginia Tech/Notre Dame
These standings are going to be shuffled in the next few weeks leading up to the conference tournament and there is going to be competition at the top to get the double-bye and get the two extra days of rest. The ACC might be down as a conference this year as far as national contenders go, but the race down the stretch is going to be one to watch.
