Question for college basketball fans...

The ACC has 3 legitimate locks

And possibly 5 teams that can finish at a 5way tie for 4th place at 8-8.

How many teams should get into the Field of 65 and which ones are they?

UNC, Wake and Duke are in...

Georgia Tech RPI 43, 17-10 Quality wins would be over Wake Forest, Miamix2
Virginia Tech RPI 114, 15-12 Quality wins would be over NC State, Duke, G Tech & Miamix2
Maryland RPI 35, 17-10 Quality wins would be over Dukex2, G Tech, V Techx2
Miami RPI 51, 17-10 Quality wins over Florida, NC State, Maryland
NC State RPI 89, 18-11 Quality wins over Ga Techx2, Marylandx2, V Tech, Wake Forest

Oh, yeah the RPI should be taken with a half a grain of salt since they list Virginia @ 55 and rank 4 teams below a 0-28 Savanna State club including a team with 5 wins.

Joe Lunardi says the Big 3 plus Maryland, Ga Tech and Virginia Tech

ESPN has only 4 Bubble Teams, NC State being the odd man out.

Nitemare says the Big 3 plus Maryland(Any team that can beat Duke twice in one season goes automatically), Ga Tech (Pre-season #4 = automatic berth, would not want to offend pollsters), Va Tech = out(New kid on the block plus only 15 wins), Miami = in(low RPI plus large TV market), NC State=in(18 wins and ranked #9 at one time)

lol that's hilarious. they will lose to the first team in a major conference that is not the big 10.
 
That's a lot of assuming, getting all the teams in the bubble to win out. If it plays out that way, with 5 teams @ 8-8 in conference, I don't see more than 4 going. Va Tech would be the last ACC team to get in, but on College Gameday yesterday, Joe Lunardi said that of his last 4 in & out from last week (ending 2-21), 7 of those 8 teams lost. He was joking that it might be hard for the committee to get 34 qualified at large teams. It will be interesting to see what happens, and who goes where.
 
How are they running the ACC tourney this year with 11 teams? Top 8, or playins?

Edit - Found it. Three playin games, good for the middle to lower seeds, they can play another lower team first, rather than UNC or Wake in the first round.
 
IMO, Maryland and GaTech are in and out of Va Tech, Miami, and NCSU, two will get in.

As for Illinois and and major conference teams....how about Wake Forest, Cincinatti, Arkansas, Georgetown, Oregon, Missouri? Not to mention Gonzaga.
Consider yourself owned.
