Have any seeds been locked up? Curious who we might be playing.

The Top 4 seeds are determined. BC's loss today coupled with a Wake win would put them in a tie based on conference record. Because they haven't played each other, the next tiebreaker is record against the best finishing common opponent, then continuing down the standings. We are the best common opponent, but they would both be 0-3 against us. Next up is Miami, who BC beat twice but Wake only beat once. So, the Top 4 seeds are locked in as:
1) GT (will play #8, #9 or #16).
2) UNC (will play #7, #10 or #15)
3) FSU (will play #6, #11 or #14)
4) Boston College (will play #5, #12 or #13)

#5 - #7 Seed (Wake, Miami, VT, UVA)
Wake: Secures #5 with a Win over Duke today or a loss with a VT loss. (tiebreaker over Miami)
UVA can sneak in here if they win and Miami loses.
VT can not go below #7.

Potential #8 seeds:
Miami: Loss today, and UVA and VT both win
UVA: Win + Miami Win; Loss + Stanford Loss
Stanford: Win today + UVA loss

Potential #9 seeds:
NCSU: Win + Stanford Loss (this is the highest NCSU can be)
UVA: Loss + Stanford Win
Stanford: Loss + NCSU, ND and UL losses,
If NCSU and Stanford lose, and either ND or Louisville win there will be a 3-way or 4-way tie). I am not going to figure that out.

Potential #16 seeds:
Clemson or Duke, whoever wins paired with the other losing.
If tied, Duke is the #16 seed based on Clemson's victory over us.

After all that, I'm rooting for a Wake Loss + VT Win: this puts Wake in the 2/3 bracket - would rather see them in the final than in the semi. After that it's a crap shoot although I'd love to see UVA get pushed to a 9 seed. They will probably be in our bracket as an 8/9, so would like for their pitching to have to go through 1 more game.

Thanks. When we know the standings (if before the Cal / Stanford game) if someone could let me know and I'll do the ACC Season poll results. Kind of sort of on the above, @Home Park Jacket has 7. 5 have 6 of 10 correct.

I got the Wake / Miami tie breaker wrong - Miami won the series so if Wake loses and Miami wins that puts Miami at #5. Think I’d rather have the winner of Miami/BC than Wake/BC as a potential semi-final.

So for all of the talk about our weak ACC Schedule, we will have played 5 of the top 6 teams besides us including 2, 3 and 4 seeds.

Doesn’t UVA have the tie breaker on VPISU? VPISU can drop to 8th if they are tied with UVA.

Glad NC State got a win over UNC. Hopefully that plus a win or two in ACC tournament will get them in the tournament. Boy don't want to play Wake right now

I believe that we are down to just the Cal/Stanford matchup to impact final standings related to our 1st game opponent. As usual, my QC department is asleep at my feet, so there could be an error here, but I don't think so.

If Stanford wins, they get a bye and the #8 seed**. UVa would be the #9 seed***. Duke would be the #16 seed****. So we would play one of Stanford/UVa/Duke.
If Cal wins, UVa would get a bye and the #8 seed***, NC State would be the #9, and Duke would be the #16 seed****. So we would play one of UVa/NC State/Duke.

**By virtue of sweeping FSU, the highest ranked common opponent with NC State & Virginia.
*** By virtue of taking 2 of 3 from UNC while NC State lost 2 of 3 to UNC.
**** By virtue of getting swept by us, while Clemson managed to avoid the sweep.

Cal beat Stanford 2-1 so the 8/9/16 is UVA/NC St/Duke

I’m not sure if I have a rooting interest in the early week games. Kind of would like to face UVA and Miami to get some new teams faced.

You know what I like about this new ACC Tournament format? The game times are set in advance only by the seed. As opposed to, let’s give UNC and NC State all the prime spots at night in the opening days like it was for years. Now you get Duke vs NC State at 9 AM.
