Happy Selection Sunday!! Seth Greenberg.. it's gonna be a long day
It is the best day of the year !! and it leads to the least productive work week of the year. Sorry boss.. quite a lot of my time Mon-Wed will be devoted to my brackets.
Sunday morning and this may be one of the tougher bubble to predict that i can remember. Here's where we are right now in the ACC
ACC - Duke, Maryland, FSU, Clemson, Wake, and Ga tech are locks. Va tech went 10-6 in the ACC but had the luxury of playing all of their home and aways vs the bottom end of the conference. Let's look at Va tech a little close.. as they are truly the team in question today.
lost at Duke, lost to Maryland at home, lost at FSU, beat Wake at home, won at Ga Tech, beat Clemson at home, swept uva, 1-1 vs BC, swept Nc st, 1-1 vs UNC, and went 1-2 vs Miami.
So.. vs the 6 ACC teams that will be dancing.. they only played each of them 1 time and went 3-3.. and then went 7-4 vs the 5 acc teams that are clearly not in the tourney. NOT overly impressive !!! going 10-6 in the ACC.. normally gets you in.. every single time, but there could be a first time for everything. Looking at the other 6 teams :
Duke is a #1 if they beat Ga tech in the final.. and then could fall to a #2 if they lose.. and you could see WV move up to the #1
Maryland didnt help themselves losing to Ga tech.. probably a 5-6 seed
FSU again.. lost early in the tourney.. probably 8-9 seed
Clemson.. of course.. loses early.. probably 9-10 seed
Wake is also looking at a 9-10 seed
Ga tech has played their way off the bubble. now.. today vs duke they play for seeding.. if they win today.. could get as high as a 7-8 seed.
Va tech.. hold your breath that Kentucky and Ohio St both win today and then it'll be tough trying to compare Va tech with Minnesota, Illinois, and Miss st. Va tech.. if they squeak in.. is probably a 12 seed.
